Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Keep warm until ready to use.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken, 1/2 of the garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until chicken is browned and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.

Step 3

Add remaining oil to the same pan. Saute remaining garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chile paste. Add coconut milk and stir until blended. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add chicken broth, lemongrass, lime leaves, lime juice, and fish sauce. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Add chicken and broccoli, and simmer gently for 10 more minutes. Taste and season as necessary. Serve over warm rice.
