Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 medium Red onion, finely chopped
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
• 400 ml Coconut milk
• 500 ml Chicken broth
• 1 cup Jasmine rice, rinsed
• 1 large Carrot, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium Zucchini, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 10 leaves Fresh Thai basil leaves
• 1 Optional: Red chili for garnish, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken thighs with a pinch of salt and add them to the pot. Sear on both sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side, then remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the red onion and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the Thai red curry paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes to release its aroma.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine with the curry paste.

Step 7

Return the chicken thighs to the pot. Add the jasmine rice, carrot, red bell pepper, and zucchini. Stir gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Add the fish sauce and brown sugar, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 9

Once cooked, stir in the lime juice and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and Thai basil leaves.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with sliced red chili if desired. Enjoy your Thai One Pot!
