Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch/3-quart baking pan, combine 1 cup of the coconut milk with the red curry paste, peanut butter, fish sauce and garlic; whisk until blended. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and carrots, then scatter the rice over everything. Add the boiling water, seal the pan tightly with foil, and bake until the rice is just tender, about 40 minutes.
- Step 2
Remove the foil from the pan, scatter the broccoli florets over the rice, season with salt and pepper, then reseal with foil and bake for another 5 minutes, until the broccoli has steamed. Remove from the oven and let sit for 3 minutes.
- Step 3
Meanwhile, stir the lime juice into the remaining coconut milk and season with salt and pepper. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir to mix. Serve with a drizzle of coconut sauce.

Instead of cooking this under foil, place an inverted sheet/jellyroll pan on top of it. Please, everyone--stop using foil, plastic wrap & bags, & paper towels. They're never necessary, & they're doing an enormous amount of harm to the planet (& to human health, if the former doesn't ring an alarm for you). Generations managed without them; we can, too. For ex., store food in serving bowls, w an inverted plate or saucer to cover. Wrap pie dough in wax paper, then in a clean kitchen towel.
Red curry pastes vary widely in their spice content. You pretty much have to try them to see what you can tolerate, or look if chiles are near the top of the ingredient list. Mae Ploy pastes are very hot; Thai Kitchen's are milder. I would never use 1/4 cup of Mae Ploy in a dish meant for only 4 people.
Those tough broccoli stems? Scrape the outer membrane off, slice the stem, and add to the dish. Those bits are as tender as can be and need not be discarded.
Made exactly as written and it turned out perfect. Made sure to use a ceramic baking dish instead of glass as some noted cook times were affected by this. So scrumptious! Served with a peanut lime slaw.
good not great-- followed recipe-- it was easy and one pot!
I added a bunch of spinach instead of carrots but it turned out great!
