Ingredients

• 1 jar Watcharee’s Thai Coconut Curry Sauce
• 2-3 tbsp oil
• 2 bone-in chicken breasts
• 2–3 medium potatoes, cut into chunks or baby potatoes
• 1-2 cinnamon sticks (optional)
• 2-3 star anise pods (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Heat oil in an oven-safe pot with lid or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
3. Place chicken breasts skin side down and sear for 3–4 minutes to lock in moisture.
4. Flip and sear the other side for an additional 1–2 minutes.
5. Add the entire jar of Watcharee’s Thai Coconut Curry Sauce and turn off the heat.
6. Add potatoes around the chicken, ensuring they are coated in sauce.
7. Optional: Add 1-2 cinnamon sticks and 2-3 star anise pods for extra warmth and aroma.
8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
9. Optional: Broil on medium for 5–7 minutes to brown the skin and deepen flavor — keep a close eye to avoid drying out.
10. Remove from the oven, rest for a few minutes, and serve with steamed rice or noodles.Enjoy!
