Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken and sear without stirring for 2 minutes until edges turn opaque.

  2. Step 2

    Stir the chicken, breaking up any clumps, and cook 3 more minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

    Add broccoli and return chicken to the skillet. Simmer 3 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze in lime juice and taste. Add salt and pepper as needed.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice between two bowls, top with curry and broccoli, then raw cabbage slaw and lime wedges on the side.
