Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add panang paste and stir constantly until fragrant and slightly darkened, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in coconut milk, stirring to break up the paste completely and form a smooth sauce.

  4. Step 4

    Add chicken pieces and bell pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook 8–10 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in fish sauce and lime juice. Taste and adjust salt or lime to preference.

  6. Step 6

    Serve over jasmine rice or with flatbread.
