So I've got this little jar of red curry, and a can of coconut milk.
Do I mix the curry in with the milk and then cook the chicken in the sauce, or is it better to cook the chicken on the side? Or am I just way off?
Cook the paste in a little oil and then add the liquid. There's a few ways to go about cooking the chicken. You can sautee it after the paste, sautee it separately and add it later, cook it and then remove to prevent it from overcooking or just cook it in the liquid.
I would probably cook it, remove it and add it later.

There's no problem with coconut milk boiling, is there?
Bump...
Can you boil coconut milk? Unlike regular milk?

Nope. In fact the traditional method that these curries are made in Thailand would be as follows:
-boil the coconut milk until it splits (the fat separates out)
-use said fat to fry the paste for a bit
-add additional coconut milk, or stock, if needed to thin the sauce out.
