Ingredients:

2 tsp olive oil
9g
6 chicken thighs
600g
1 red onion
160g
2 tbsp curry paste
30g
2 cups coconut milk
460g
1 cup chicken gravy
200g
4 cups pumpkin
480g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Chop the red onion and cube the pumpkin.
2. Heat the Oil:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken:
- Add the chicken thighs to the pot and brown them on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken thighs and set them aside.
4. Sauté the Onion:
- In the same pot, add the chopped red onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
5. Add Curry Paste:
- Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the paste to become fragrant.
6. Combine Coconut Milk and Gravy:
- Pour in the coconut milk and chicken gravy. Stir to combine.
7. Add Pumpkin and Chicken:
- Add the cubed pumpkin to the pot, then return the browned chicken thighs to the pot.
8. Simmer:
- Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the pumpkin is tender.
9. Check and Season:
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed with salt and pepper.
10. Serve:
- Serve the Thai creamy chicken one-pot hot, over a bed of steamed rice or with a side of your favorite vegetables.

Tips:

- Use fresh pumpkin if available, as it adds a better texture and flavor compared to canned pumpkin.

- Choose a high-quality curry paste to ensure the best possible flavor profile for your dish.

- For even more depth of flavor, consider marinating the chicken thighs in a bit of olive oil and curry paste for an hour before cooking.

- If you prefer a spicier dish, try adding some chopped fresh chilies or a pinch of chili flakes to the mixture.

- Serve the Thai creamy chicken one-pot dish with jasmine rice or steamed veggies to complete the meal.
