Thai Chicken Curry
Blogging is fun, and so is creating recipes. Mix these two together, and the results can be quite exciting! Creating recipes is my passion – the inner “artsy” side of me. The reward I get from it is sharing my dishes with you so you can enjoy them. There’s no prize 🏆🥇 at the end besides hearing back from you, saying you loved one of my creations.
The other day, one of my subscribers from Thailand was quite impressed with my Thai Yellow Curry Paste. Wow! That was awesome! I felt that I had accomplished something great, and boy, did it ever make me feel good inside 🥰! Yeah, yeah I know… my ego was boosted, and it made me happy! C’mon, she’s from THAILAND and liked it! Of course, I would still have felt great inside if that woman has been from Russia – a compliment is always positively welcomed –, but who better to judge it than someone from Thailand?
She was also curious about which dish I created to go along with my yellow curry paste, and that is what today’s recipe is all about… Thai Chicken Curry 🐓! I love the mixed flavors of sweet, spicy, and savory together. It’s very aromatic and, at the same time, comforting. Thailand is on my “bucket list”, and making this dish brings this colorful, energetic culture into my kitchen!
Of course, now that I’ve told you about my Thai subscriber, I wonder how she’ll react to this recipe. I’m not worried at all because when I tasted this Thai Chicken Curry dish, it was an “OMG” 😍 moment! It was exactly how I wanted this recipe to turn out. Having being to many Thai restaurants before, I knew which flavors I was looking for, and they were right here on my plate. My biggest concern was more with the paste because I wasn’t too sure if I had enough spices in it to make it taste flavorful. I never find just “spicy” food interesting… it has to have some flavor to it as well. When I only taste “hot” and nothing else, to me, it’s a one note dish… so boring!
Don’t be too afraid of the paste when you make it. It has some major zip to it, but when you’ve added all the ingredients for this Thai Chicken Curry together in the saucepan, it mellows out quite a bit, and the results are amazing! This recipe is fast and easy to make, plus you can proudly say that you can make 👩🍳👨🍳 Thai recipes from scratch at home…

Very good and very tasty. Thank you.
You’re very welcome, Vijay😀. Have a wonderful day.
Amazing flavor! We’ll make it again, thx!
Awesome! Have a fabulous day, Diane 🌞.
It was a little “hot” but it was my fault. I rarely measure and I went slightly overboard with the curry paste. Next time, I’ll probably dig out for my measuring spoon. Thanks hon.
You’re welcome, Karl. Before Club Foody, I was doing the same. Now, I have to be precise 🥄 with the exact measurements. Enjoy the rest of your day.
Tasted amazing! Thanks Chef Frankie!
It’s my pleasure, EM. We love this recipe! Have a nice evening 🌛.
I like Thai food but it doesn’t like me. I made this recipe at home, reducing the curry paste by half, and for the first time, my body didn’t have any reaction, not even heartburn. Thank you for sharing.
It’s my pleasure, Sabrina 😉. I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe “during and after”. That’s the beauty of making food from scratch… most of them can be adapted to our liking. Have a nice afternoon.
wow-wow-wow-wow!
Excellent recipe. Thank you
It’s my pleasure, Joseph 😀. Have a fantastic day!
I loved the taste of it but my body didn’t like the heat from the curry paste so much. I’ll add less next time.
I’m lactose intolerant and this recipe was perfect for me. I saw you have a lot of dairy-free recipes. I’ll be trying them.
I’m glad to hear it was a great recipe for your condition. Absolutely 😉 and they keep coming. Have a wonderful day, Nathan.
it was super tasty!! Thanks
You’re very welcome, Ian 😀.
I made it last night for my girlfriends and they all asked for the recipe. They all loved it!
I’m happy they enjoyed the recipe! It’s always a crowd pleaser! Enjoy the rest of your day, Megan 🌞.
It was far and beyond my expectations!! Awesome recipe! Thank you.
You’re very welcome, Rosie 😊. Thank you for your kind comments. Enjoy the rest of your day.
It was amazing! Even my picky boyfriend loved it! It’s definitely a keeper! Thank you
It’s my pleasure, Jo-Ann😉. I’m glad your boyfriend enjoyed the recipe. Have a beautiful day.
This has been my go-to recipe since it was published! If you enjoy Thai, you’ve got to try this!
It was another cold May 2-4 weekend so my wife and I decided to make this dish. It was perfect with tons of flavor! Cheers, Frankie!
Awesome! I’m happy that you both loved the recipe. Have a wonderful day, Jack 🌞.
Too spicy, not trying this again
Sorry to hear you didn’t like it, Les. I understand that everyone has their own heat 🔥 tolerance. Enjoy the rest of your day.
One word to describe it… AMAZING! Thank you, chef Frankie.
You’re very welcome 😀 and thank you. Have a fabulous day, Renée
We loved this recipe! A delicious balance of spiciness, sweetness, and saltiness. Have a nice day.
Thank you for the 5-star ⭐ rating and I’m happy you enjoyed the recipe. Have a nice afternoon, Chad.
Happy with the results.
I love the coconut milk; it’s so tasty! I didn’t have any fish sauce so I used soy sauce. Overall, this was a delicious recipe.
Incredibly delish!! Thank you girlfriend!
It’s my pleasure 😀. Have a gorgeous day & safe travels!
It was outstanding and we can’t wait to make it again! Thank you chef!
You’re very welcome, Shannon 😉. It’s a lovely recipe to enjoy anytime! Have a fabulous day.
I made it a few times during Covid, and when it was finally over, we went back to our neighborhood Thai restaurant. As much as it was nice not to cook, we won’t go back there again. We prefer the taste of this homemade recipe. xoxo
Oh my, thank you so much, Patricia 🙏. Frankly, I prefer homemade food. It tastes better, and most of the recipes can be modified to our liking. Have a beautiful day.
I was surprised how easy and flavorful it was.Are there any other Thai recipes besides this one?
I’m happy you enjoyed the recipe. Yes, I do. Here’s the link… Thai Cuisine , and to get other cuisine recipes, go to the sidebar on the right of the page where all the categories are listed. Enjoy the rest of your day, Demi 🌞.

It’s my pleasure, Kev 😉. Have a wonderful day.
Another incredible recipe from chef Frankie!
Aww, you’re so kind, thank you Wilf 🙏. Enjoy the rest of your day.
Wonderful flavors!
New subscribers here! Before Covid, we used to go to our Thai restaurant. Yesterday, we were craving its food and decided to make this recipe. It was OMG! It has great flavors, and we were also able to adjust it to our liking. Next, we’re trying some Chinese food. Take care, Frankie.
Welcome to the Club, Marlon 😀! I have a lot of recipes to choose from… Chinese CuisineI will and you too. Have a wonderful day.
I’ve been making this recipe for a couple of years now. I like to switch ingredients. Instead of chicken, I use firm white fish or shrimp. It’s a great recipe.
Like almost all of Club Foody’s recipes, this one is easy to make. It’s simply excellent! Thank you for your hard work.
It’s my pleasure, Ivanna 😉 and thank you for your kind comments. Enjoy the rest of your day.
I normally don’t leave reviews but I had to for this one. It was delicious!! Thx for posting.
Thank you for the 5-star review, I really appreciate it 🙏! I’m happy you enjoyed the recipe. Have a nice afternoon, Tanya.
This recipe is incredible! I’ve made it several times. It’s a family favorite!
When I crave for Thai food, this is my go-to recipe! Have you ever made green curry paste?
That’s fantastic! No but I should… perhaps one day. Enjoy your afternoon, Natasha 🌞.
nice dish nice job
It was excellent!
There’s a Thai restaurant near our place and we’ve been there a few times. Last weekend, I rolled up my sleeves and made this dish along with the paste. My husband and I really enjoyed it! It’s a keeper. Thank you.
It’s my pleasure 😉 and I’m happy you loved it. It’s a quick & easy recipe to make. Enjoy the rest of your day, Vivian.
My husband and I loved this recipe! It will certainly be on our menu rotation! Thanks, Frankie!
You’re welcome, Heather. I’m happy that you both enjoyed the recipe. Have a gorgeous day 🌞.
It was not a 5 stars, it was a 10!
Thank you for your kind comment! Have a fabulous day, Georgia 🌞.
Une recette formidable! Merci pour le partage.
Au plaisir, Corine 😀. Passez une belle journée.
This dish has become a staple in our family along with others from your website. Thank you, chef!
You’re very welcome, Shirley 😉 and thank you for your lovely comment. Have a nice evening.
I love spicy food and this was moderately spicy, not hot at all! Next time, I’m going to add chilies.
I used store-bought curry paste and made this recipe. It was very flavorful, however, next time, I’ll try to tame it down a little.
I totally understand. Everyone’s heat 🔥 tolerance is different. Have a nice evening, Doreen.
my go-to Thai chicken curry!!!
Very easy to make and delicious!
this is a 10 stars!!
Aww, you’re so kind, thank you Steve 😊.
Hello Frankie,
I think I’m going to start calling you chef! I’ve been following you since your first recipe back in March 2016. I’m guessing I’ve probably tried around 80 recipes of yours and I’m not about to stop, they’re always awesome! I tried this one reluctantly because I’m not a fan of spicy food, but to my surprise, it was slightly hot yet enjoyable. Thank you for your hard work and sharing your recipes. Have a nice day.
Good morning, Carol ☕ and thank you for your kind words. Wow, really! That’s fantastic! I’m happy you liked the recipe (and recipes). It’s my pleasure. Have a fabulous day too 🌞.
I loved the taste but a bit too spicy for me.
I followed the recipe as written, and it was better than our local Thai restaurant! Thx
That’s awesome and you’re welcome, Dwayne! I’m happy you enjoyed the recipe. Have a wonderful day 🌞.
I have a busy schedule and I bought yellow curry paste instead of making it from scratch. The results were excellent! Very tasty and layerered with flavors. Thank you, Frankie.
It’s my pleasure 😉. Buying the curry paste from the store is certainly a quicker way to make this recipe. Have a nice evening, Eshal.
It’s a keeper! It’s a little zippy but my family loved it!
I’m glad everyone loved the recipe. Enjoy your afternoon, Gloria 🌞.
Geschmackvoll und lecker, danke.
Thank you, Otto 🙏.
I loved the dish and thought it was not insanely spicy until the next morning… FIRE! 🔥 🚒 I’ll still make it again I think I’m a masochist, lol!
😮
It was super easy to follow and turned out amazing! Thanks for posting, Frankie.
It’s my pleasure, Tyler 😉.
This was restaurant quality! I’ll be making it again!
That’s awesome 😀! I’m happy you enjoyed the recipe. Have a nice evening, Peter 🌜.
Perfect balance of flavor. Instead of chicken, I used pork loin and cubed it. I might add a bird’s eye chili to it next time I make it. I served it with jasmine rice and garnished it with lime zest and cilantro.
Another great recipe from chef Frankie!
Awww, you’re so sweet, thank you, Colleen 🙏. Enjoy the rest of your day.
just the right amount of heat!!!
I love your style! You create incredibly flavorful recipes and you’re so gorgeous! Take care Frankie.
Awww, you’re so kind, thank you Lionel. I will and you too 😀.
Great recipe. great flavors. great job. โชคดีนะ from Phuket 💗
Thank you very much, Khajee 🙏. Have a fabulous day.
I’m making it again tonight! Thank you, Frankie.
Oh my, it sounds like a delicious plan 😋! You’re very welcome, Joyce and enjoy your dinner!
I just made this recipe for my wife and me tonight for supper. It was just perfect: not too spicy but not tame either. We subscribed to your YouTube and can’t wait to see more of your recipes.
That’s fantastic! Welcome to the Club, ladies 😀 ! Every Tuesday and Thursday, I post new recipes, including a monthly kitchen Tips & Tricks. Have a nice evening.
