🧂 1/2 tsp salt
🌶️ 1/4 tsp black pepper
🛢️ 1 tbsp vegetable oil
🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
🌿 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
🌶️ 2 tbsp red curry paste
🥥 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
🍯 1 tbsp fish sauce
🍋 1 tbsp lime juice
🍯 1 tsp brown sugar (optional, for balance)

🥦 2 cups steamed broccoli florets
🍋 Lime wedges, for serving
Optional Garnishes:

Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Chicken:
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sear for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
2️⃣ Sauté Aromatics:
In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3️⃣ Make the Curry Sauce:
Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until aromatic. Add the coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
4️⃣ Simmer the Chicken:
Return the chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.
5️⃣ Steam the Broccoli:
While the curry cooks, steam the broccoli until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
6️⃣ Assemble the Bowls:
Divide the cooked rice into serving bowls. Top with the chicken curry and spoon extra sauce over the rice. Add the steamed broccoli to the side.
7️⃣ Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with fresh cilantro, crushed peanuts, or sliced chilies for extra flavor. Serve with lime wedges for a refreshing citrus kick.
🌟 This Thai Coconut Curry Chicken Bowl is a perfect harmony of creamy, spicy, and tangy flavors. A comforting dish that’s simple to make and bursting with vibrant flavors! 🥥✨
