Instructions

Warm the butter and oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the chicken, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the mushrooms, onion, and garlic and cook for another 5 minutes.
Stir in the coconut milk and red curry paste. Once bubbling, reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your liking. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve over rice and garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

Curry paste can be found in little jars in the international food aisle of your grocery store.

I used red curry paste for this recipe, but green curry paste would work as well.

Any type of mushroom can be used for this recipe.

You can make this recipe vegetarian by substituting the chicken for tofu or doubling the amount of mushrooms.
