Ingredients

  • 1 onion large + chopped
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 lb chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2-3 tablespoons yellow curry paste
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 5 cups kabocha squash ~1.3 lbs cubed (acorn squash or the like works too)
  • 1-2 tablespoons fish sauce

Instructions

  1. In a large pot heat the oil on medium and lightly brown the chopped onion. Add curry paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the chicken pieces and brown for about 3 minutes, before adding chicken broth and coconut milk to the pot. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and cover to simmer for 25-30 minutes.
