Author's Notes
The consistency of this curry is very thick and velvety. If you prefer a curry with a thinner consistency, simply add coconut milk, chicken broth, or water.
Tip: It’s hard to enjoy curry without rice! Cook enough rice to accommodate any leftover Thai Red Curry Chicken. Pack the rice with the curry in individual portions so that you re-heat only just the amount you need. Do not reheat more than once.
