Directions
Prepare Chicken
Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
Place chicken into a bowl and season with 2 teaspoons Wurzpott Curry Red seasoning.
Heat a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon oil.
Cook chicken approximately 5 to 7 minutes while stirring occasionally until lightly browned but not fully cooked through.
Transfer chicken to a clean plate.
Build Curry Sauce
Reduce heat slightly to medium.
Add remaining oil if needed.
Add diced onion and cook approximately 5 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
Add garlic, ginger, and the remaining 2 tablespoons Wurzpott Curry Red seasoning. Cook while stirring continuously for approximately 30 seconds until fragrant and the spices become aromatic.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook 1 minute while stirring continuously to deepen flavor and lightly caramelize the paste.
Add crushed tomatoes, coconut milk, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, and honey.
Whisk thoroughly until smooth and evenly combined.
Bring mixture to a gentle simmer.
Finish Curry
Return chicken and any juices to the skillet.
Reduce heat to medium low.
Simmer uncovered approximately 12 to 15 minutes while stirring occasionally until chicken becomes tender and sauce thickens slightly.
Internal temperature of chicken should reach 165°F.
Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
Serve immediately over rice or with warm naan.
Garnish with cilantro, lime wedges, red chili, or yogurt if desired.
Suggested serving methods: over jasmine rice, basmati rice, garlic naan, roasted vegetables, or alongside cucumber salad.
Recipe Note
Chicken thighs remain juicier and more flavorful than chicken breast in simmered curry recipes.
Full fat coconut milk creates the richest texture and best sauce consistency.
For spicier curry, add cayenne pepper, red chili flakes, or diced fresh chili.
For milder curry, slightly reduce Curry Red seasoning or stir in additional coconut milk.
Tomato paste deepens flavor and improves curry richness significantly.
Allowing the curry to simmer uncovered helps concentrate flavor and thicken the sauce naturally.
This curry often tastes even better the next day after flavors continue developing.
