Thai Red Coconut Curry with Chicken is so simple to make at home but tastes just like it’s from your favorite Thai Food Restaurant!

Ohhhh… I just love Thai Food.  It’s that coconut creaminess in curry dishes that does it for me.  I prefer to use light coconut milk which gives all the creaminess of regular coconut milk with much less of a calorie punch.   It’s usually about  65% less fat and calories but if you’d prefer original coconut milk then of course it tastes amazing too!

I also love our Green Chicken Curry with Thai Eggplant recipe too!  They’re both just delightful.  The great thing about curry’s is that you can easily adjust the spicy-ness of them by adjusting the amount of curry paste you add in.  If you have heavy hitters with a high heat index then they can add more heat to their own portion by simply adding more of the curry paste to it.  That way everybody’s happy with the heat of their curry.  YAY!!
