Easy Chicken Sweet Potato Curry Recipe
I am a huge Thai curry fan and was craving something with Thai red curry paste and coconut milk, spiked with lime. This easy, one-skillet curry that’s ready in 20 minutes really hit the spot. There’s sweet Vidalia onion, sweet potatoes, and chicken that simmer in a mixture of creamy coconut milk that’s spiced with garlic, ginger, coriander, and Thai red curry paste before adding lime zest and lime juice. Fresh cilantro and the lime elements really add a pop of tangy freshness and balance the warming flavors of the ginger, coriander, and red curry paste. It’s hearty yet healthy comfort food that’s layered with Thai-inspired flavors. The lime-coconut milk sauce is so slurpable and keeps the chicken so juicy and moist. I used lite coconut milk but for an even richer and more luxurious sauce, use full fat. While there’s natural sweetness from the sweet Vidalia onions, the buttery tender sweet potatoes, and the coconut milk, the lime zest and lime juice add the perfect acidic notes to balance the flavors. With cold weather upon us, nothing is better than diving into this curry that’s ready faster than you can call for takeout and tastes just as good as any restaurant. It’s even naturally gluten-free and dairy-free. Feel free to serve it over or alongside rice or cauliflower rice. Basmati or jasmine rice are great with it. It’s the perfect cozy comfort food meal that can easily double as meal prep!
