My favorite One Pot IndoThai Chicken Curry
This IndoThai Chicken Curry is a quick and easy recipe perfect for when you want a ton of flavor but don’t have a ton of time.
You can make this with a variety of different cuts of chicken, or if you have a hot roast chicken from the deli, or straight from the oven then use this instead.
I’m a sucker for One Pot/Pan cooking as it saves on washing up and makes cooking so much simpler and enjoyable.
TIPS :
- Different cuts of chicken will work, you can also do this with prawns or fish or your favourite source of protein. Just be sure to not over cook delicate protein for instance prawns or fish as the texture will be wrong.
- You can adjust the chili level of this IndoThai Chicken Curry depending on your preference and what you have available. I used two green chillies – they were medium heat.
- If you’ve got any leftovers, this is great for freezing or reheating the next day.
- If you love cooking then do check out my recipe section.
- Full fat, or reduced fat coconut milk works. Personally I prefer the full fat version but it’s totally up to your preference and taste.

Ps the IndoThai Chicken Curry sauce is fab on it’s own. I’ll often make a batch and freeze in small quantities to use as a pour on sauce.
