Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add diced chicken and stir until no pink remains, about 5–6 minutes.
Step 2
Stir curry paste into the chicken until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then pour in coconut milk and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Simmer on medium heat for 4–5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and chicken is tender.
Step 4
Warm the cooked rice gently in a small pot or microwave with a pinch of salt and a splash of water if needed.
Step 5
Divide rice between two plates or bowls. Top with chicken curry, a dollop of sambal, and scattered cucumber slices.
