This chicken curry noodle recipe is a family favorite. The combination of the tasty curry sauce mixed with the succulent chicken and perfectly cooked noodles makes for a delicious and comforting mood.
When I invite family over for dinner, they seem to always request one of three dishes. This is one of them. The other two are ribs and gnocchi.
I think it’s because each of those dishes are robust, delicious and comforting.
The real standout of this dish is the curry sauce. I have always been a bread dipper. And even though there are noodles involved, you will always see me with a fistful of bread or naan that I dip in the sauce between mouthfuls of chicken and noodles.

How to make chicken curry noodle
Pre-step
Get a deep sauté pan.
Step one
Gather the ingredients – We have fish sauce, curry paste, cut up chicken thighs, garlic paste, coconut cream, coconut milk and chicken broth.
Step two
Turn the heat under the deep sauté pan to medium and once the pan heats up, add 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Step three
Once the oil has heated up, add the chicken and stand over it while it cooks, 2 minutes each side for a total of 6 minutes.
It will almost be fully cooked through, but not quite. Remove from pan as you will use that pan for the curry.
Step four
Fill a sauce pan with water, 2 – 3 inches deep and set it to boil.
Step five
Add a heaping 1/2 cup of yellow curry paste to the same pan and also add 1 can of coconut cream as well as 1/2 can of coconut milk, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 2 teaspoons garlic paste and 2 teaspoons ginger paste.
Bring the mixture to a boil and turn it down to a simmer.
Step six
By now, the water is boiling so lightly salt it and add a 6 ounce package of chow mein noodles. They only take 5 minutes so set your timer.
Step seven
Place the chicken in the curry sauce and a few handfuls of spinach and let it simmer as the noodles cook.
Step eight
Drain the noodles and place them in the pan with the chicken curry.
All done!
Mmmm.Doesn’t that look scrumptious? And look at all that curry sauce!
Time to serve some.
