    Cut chicken into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Add curry paste and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in chicken pieces and cook 4 minutes, turning occasionally until light golden outside.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in coconut milk, stir to combine, and simmer 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze half the lime into the curry. Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.
