About

4-Ingredient Red Curry Chicken is simple and speedy to make, but underneath the surface is a real depth of flavor that can't be beat! The savory chicken braises in a sauce made from coconut cream and red Thai curry sauce; the latter adds heat and spice and boldness, which the former balances with its natural sweetness and creaminess. It's the perfect combo of Southeast-inspired flavors, just perfect, and the addition of vermicelli noodles ensures you don't miss a drop! Half an hour is plenty of time to impress your own palette with 4-Ingredient Red Curry Chicken.
