Red Curry Chicken with Winter Squash

Lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves can be found at Asian supermarkets. If you can't find it, substitute a teaspoon of lime zest, although the flavor won't be the same.

  • 1 can coconut milk divided
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon coconut palm sugar or brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Heat 1/2 cup coconut milk in a small saucepan over medium heat.
