Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
- 400 milliliters Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 250 milliliters Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and dice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the Thai red curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to bloom.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes until they are lightly browned on the outside.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the skillet, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Stir in the red bell pepper strips, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Allow to simmer for another 5 minutes.
Before serving, stir in the fresh lime juice and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
Serve hot over a bed of jasmine rice and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
