  • 1 x 400ml can coconut milk
  • 1 cup (250ml) chicken stock

Delicious and super easy do-ahead recipe. I needed to add coconut sugar but I guess it depends on the red curry paste brand. Thank you Donna!

Love this recipe! It is a favourite in our household. Super easy to throw together.

This is definitely a ‘make again’ recipe.  It’s so simple and it’s really a ‘one pot’ meal.  The flavours are perfectly balanced and yummy too! 
I will try a more shallow dish next time I cook this, as I think this will promote the crispy skin look you see in the recipe photo.  I served steamed baby buk choy and snake beans with naan bread to soak up the sauce - don’t forget to use the lime wedges to squeeze the juice over your meal as this makes a lovely, tangy addition to the flavours.
