Chicken Thigh Curry
Recipe By: Tee Gardner | Tee and the Carbs
USWM Shopping List: Chicken Thighs, Beef Tallow
Ingredients
- 7 Pasture-Raised Chicken Thighs
- 3 Tbs Beef Tallow – divided 2 Tbs + 1 Tbs
- 1 ½ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp granulated garlic
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 – 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 tsp green curry paste
- 3 Tbs red curry paste
- 1 of each yellow pepper large diced, + green pepper large diced
- 2 medium carrots chopped into 1 inch pieces.
- ½ of a medium onion roughly chopped into larger pieces.
Instructions
- Mix the pepper, salt and garlic powder together and season the chicken thighs (if your thighs are smaller, you may have some leftover)
- Add the 2 Tbs of tallow to a large deep frying pan and Saute the chicken thighs on medium heat, flipping just until they bones begin to show signs of redness – about 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken and place on a plate covered with foil (leave all drippings) REDUCE THE HEAT TO MED-LOW and add the remaining tallow to the pan along with both curry pastes and the paprika. Heat for about 5-7 minutes stirring constantly.
- Increase heat back to medium, stir in the coconut milk. Add the chicken back to the pan along with the diced veggies. This may be a tight fit, but the veggies will soften and shrink as they cook. Cook covered for 15-20 minutes, and then uncovered an additional 20 minutes to reduce the liquid.
