Ingredients

  • 200 g boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 100 ml coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp red curry paste
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 soft hamburger buns
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves(optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Finely mince the garlic and set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, then stir in the red curry paste and cook 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken, breaking it into bite‑size pieces, and cook 5‑6 minutes until lightly browned.

  4. 4

    Pour in the coconut milk, add the lime juice and salt, and simmer gently for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.

  5. 5

    While the sauce simmers, split the buns and lightly toast them in a separate pan or toaster for 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Divide the curry chicken mixture between the two buns, garnish with cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
