Zucchini and Chicken Curry - Zucchini and chicken pair well in this Thai red curry. Easy zucchini and chicken curry that you can make at home with simple ingredients in 15 minutes.
Zucchini and chicken in a Thai red curry has always been my personal favorite. The reason is simple: this curry is quick and easy, no fuss to make and the end result is always satisfying.
I love all kinds curries, for examples: Malaysian chicken curry. I also love Thai recipes and Thai curries; in fact Thai curry is one the easiest curries to make. Plus, it goes so well with fresh steamed white jasmine rice.
While dining out at Thai restaurants would be nice, I would rather get all the ingredients and make my own variation of the popular Thai red curry.
Making Thai food at home is easier than you think, you only need a few key ingredients: store-bought curry paste (you can get it online here), coconut milk, fish sauce, fresh ingredients such as chicken or beef, and vegetables. Easy breezy.
Many people don’t like fish sauce because of the pungent smell.
However, if you get a good quality fish sauce such Red Boat Fish Sauce or Magic Chef, you won’t even smell anything foul as fish sauce is made from anchovies and salt.
Anyway, before zucchini disappear from the market, savor the last bounty of zucchini and make this amazing Thai zucchini and chicken curry. I am sure your family would really enjoy this wonderful dish!

In your pics, it looks like there is sliced green herbs, maybe Cilantro or basil or something similar looking on your pieces of chicken and Zucchini. Any idea what those are?

You’re fast. Thanks for trying my Zucchini and Chicken Curry.
Thanks for the recipe! It’s seems really nice. But since it contains zucchini, I wanted to say one thing – here: http://www.listonic.com/protips/get/soeextwjle I’ve read that you should buy only zucchinis that are shorter than 8 inches because the longer ones can be bitter.
Thanks again! Best wishes!
Yes Paula you are right, some of them are bitter. Thanks for letting me know.
You’re welcome :)
Thank you Bee for the nice recipe.
