Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken and sear without stirring for 2 minutes until edges turn opaque.
Step 2
Stir the chicken, breaking up any clumps, and cook 3 more minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, stir in curry paste for 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
Step 4
Add broccoli and return chicken to the skillet. Simmer 3 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.
Step 5
Squeeze in lime juice and taste. Add salt and pepper as needed.
Step 6
Divide rice between two bowls, top with curry and broccoli, then raw cabbage slaw and lime wedges on the side.
