Instructions
- Thinly slice the carrot, finely dice the red onion, mince the garlic, and finely grate the ginger. Do not rinse the chicken. Wash the cutting board, knife, and hands with soap and water before touching anything else.
- Season the chicken pieces with kosher salt and black pepper. Heat the light olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and the thickest piece reads 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the chicken to a clean plate.
- Add the onion and carrot to the skillet, season lightly with kosher salt, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until translucent and softened. Add the garlic, ginger, and curry powder and stir for 30-60 seconds, until fragrant.
- Stir in the coconut milk and add the broccoli. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the sauce lightly coats a spoon.
- Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce is hot and the chicken is fully cooked at 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
- Taste the curry and adjust with lime juice, kosher salt, and black pepper. Serve over rice cooked according to the package directions until tender.
