Thai-style chicken

Here is a nice recipe to use your freshly made curry paste :) I have never been to Thailand, so I cannot comment on authenticity, but it's as close as you can get to dishes from Thai restaurants. Mixture of curry paste and coconut milk gives it a distinct flavor. You can flavor chicken with additional spices (even something like berbere or pepperoncini ) for more kick :)
