3 1/2 cups canned unsweetened coconut milk, divided
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste
8 kaffir lime leaves
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onion
2 large leafy sprigs Thai basil or regular basil
1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/4-to 1/3-inch-thick slices

Steps:

Heat 1/2 cup coconut milk, Thai red curry paste, and kaffir lime leaves in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir until mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
