Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into 2-inch pieces and season with salt.
Step 2
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sear until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the green curry paste. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Step 5
Slice the zucchini and red bell pepper into thin strips. Add them along with the broccoli florets to the pan.
Step 6
Return the chicken pieces to the pan and add the kaffir lime leaves. Simmer for 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt if necessary.
Step 8
Stir in the fresh basil leaves right before serving for freshness.
Step 9
Cut the lime into wedges and serve the curry hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
