Direction

  1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven to medium heat. Add onion; cook 4-5 minutes or until soft. Stir in ginger and garlic; cook 30-60 seconds or until fragrant. Stir in red curry paste, curry powder, coriander, salt, pepper and cayenne. Add chicken and broth. Cover; simmer over medium-low heat until chicken easily falls apart, 25-30 minutes.
