What you need to make this chicken & veggie red curry + substitutions:

- Coconut milk- Adds the creamy richness to the red curry paste.
- Red curry paste- We buy the Thai kitchen red curry paste and it is so good and makes the dish even easier to flavor. They even make a green curry paste as well.
- Yellow onion- Yellow onions are our go to cooking onions because they are able to handle high heat. Once they are cooked, they release a sweet flavor and add such a nice flavor to this dish.
- Rice- We used Jasmine rice since we had it on hand but any rice would work.
- Garlic cloves- Chopped fresh garlic adds great flavoring.
- Green onions- Green onions are not necessary but I think it makes the dish much better.
- Cilantro- Fresh cilantro adds a fresh and zesty flavor to this chicken & rice Mexican skillet.
- Sea salt- Our go-to sea salt is from Redmond always. We buy it in bulk from their website. It’s unrefined sea salt meaning that it still contains the beneficial trace minerals! It’s also pure and unprocessed with is the best. You can use the code daddioskitchen for 15% off on their website.
- Black pepper- Whaile the red curry paste provides a delightful heat, the black pepper steps in to provide a more nuanced and grounded spiciness.
- Lime- We squeeze fresh lime juice because its tangy brightness and natural acidity balances out the richness of the coconut milk and red curry paste.
