Cut the chicken into medium-sized pieces. Add the curry powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the pieces.
Pour a drizzle of oil into a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken. Cook until golden brown, about 6–8 minutes, until the pieces are cooked through. Set the chicken aside.
Add a little oil to the pan if necessary and sauté the chopped onion and crushed garlic for about 2–4 minutes (depending on how well-done you like your onions).
Add the red curry paste and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes. Then add the coconut milk and stir everything together to combine all the ingredients.
Finally, add the noodles and chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring to separate the noodles.
There you go, it's ready! You can add some lime, fresh cilantro, and a little more chili if you like it that way. Enjoy your meal!
