Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon lime juice
8 small flour or corn tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Sliced lime for serving
Sliced jalapeños for heat (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned.
Add Curry Flavor: Stir in the red curry paste and cook for another minute. Pour in the coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Finish with Lime: Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with the coconut curry chicken mixture, then top with shredded cabbage and chopped cilantro.
Serve: Garnish with lime slices and jalapeños if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Thai Coconut Curry Chicken Tacos!
