Keto Red Curry Chicken

My red curry recipe uses boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into bite-sized pieces and then marinated in coconut milk, red curry paste, and various spices.

The chicken is then cooked in a large skillet or pot with chopped onions until fully cooked and tender. Then the remaining coconut milk, chicken stock, and fish sauce are added to the mixture, which is then simmered until the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked.

The recipe can be easily modified to suit your tastes. For example, you can add more or less red curry paste depending on how spicy you like your curry.

You can also add vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or broccoli to add more flavor and nutrition to the dish.

I love serving this low-carb red curry chicken on a bed of cilantro cauliflower rice since it’s the best vehicle to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Another low carb option is to serve the keto chicken curry over zucchini noodles, if that’s more your preference.

Clocking in at only 6.9 net carbs, it’s the best way to satisfy your Thai cravings since it’s a keto version that can fit into your macros easily.

How To Make Keto Red Curry Chicken

To make a delicious chicken marinade, start by combining the chicken, half of the coconut milk, red curry paste, dry spices, minced garlic, chopped ginger, and lime juice in a large bowl.

Allow the chicken to marinate for 5 minutes. Next, heat oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat.

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes. Then, add the marinated chicken pieces and cook for about 4 minutes until golden brown.

Next, add the remaining coconut milk, chicken stock, and fish sauce and simmer until the chicken is fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165 F.

At this point, you can check the spice level and add a little bit of red chili pepper if you want a spicier option. I recommend you start with 1/4 teaspoon and continue to taste until you achieve your flavor preference.

Once the chicken is cooked, set it aside and keep it warm. Finally, garnish the dish with chopped Thai basil leaves and serve it with cauliflower rice.

Any leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 weeks in the freezer.
