Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the red onion and cube the pumpkin.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- 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.
- In the same pot, add the chopped red onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the paste to become fragrant.
- Pour in the coconut milk and chicken gravy. Stir to combine.
- Add the cubed pumpkin to the pot, then return the browned chicken thighs to the pot.
- 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.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed with salt and pepper.
- 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.
