A good bowl of Thai Red Curry Chicken Noodles is something I crave when I want comfort food. Thai red curry paste is available in most grocers and has the perfect balance of spices that brings pasta to life, along with chunks of cooked chicken and a few other ingredients. What’s so fantastic about this dish is that it’s easy to put together in a matter of minutes, especially if you use leftover or rotisserie chicken.
I used regular spaghetti pasta, but you can get more authentic and use Asian rice noodles, however you may need to adjust the cooking time. The dried noodles cook in the skillet along with all the other ingredients, so this truly is a one-pot wonder. It’s quick and quite satisfying to see everything come together in minutes, without much fuss and taste so delicious.
