Panang Chicken Curry image

Adapted from November 2010 issue of Bon Appetit. This is the closest recipe I have found to my favorite Thai restaurant. Cook longer (about 1 hr., rather than the 6-8 minutes recommended) for softer chicken and better melding of flavors.

Yield 1 large bowl, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/2 cups canned unsweetened coconut milk, divided
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste
8 kaffir lime leaves (substitute 1 T. fresh lime juice plus 1/2 tsp. grated lime peel for each leaf if unavailable)
3/4 cup thinly sliced onion
6 leaves Thai basil (substitute regular basil leaves if unavailable)
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/4- to 1/3-inch slices

4 teaspoons sugar
4 teaspoons cayenne (or to taste)
