This one-pot Thai chicken curry tastes amazing and is easy to prepare thanks to a great time-saving tip: not to make the chicken brown. After chopping onions and making a simple sauce with spices, curry paste, tomatoes, and coconut milk place the chicken in a pot and transfer it to the oven. Sauces are common, so making rice or some other type of flatbread is important.
