Instructions
Prepare rice according to package
In a cast iron skillet over medium/high heat, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and add sliced chicken. Season with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper, sear each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside (chicken will finish cooking in the broth).
Lower the heat to medium, add 2 tbsp of olive oil and the yellow onion. Sauté for 3 minutes. Add in the minced ginger and garlic and sauté for 1 more minute until garlic is fragrant. Add in 2 tbsp of red curry paste and stir to combine ingredients. Add in the coconut milk, fish sauce, and coconut sugar and stir to combine. Add in the chicken, the bell peppers, and half of the chiles [see note]. Cover with lid and lower the heat, simmer for 15 minutes.
While the broth simmers, place broccoli in a microwave safe bowl and fill with 1/2 inch of water. Place a paper towel on top and microwave for 3 minutes. Broccoli should be bright green and steamed. Drain.
Once broth is done simmering, add in the broccoli, stir to combine and taste. Add in more kosher salt or fresh ground black pepper if desired. Garnish with leftover chiles, fresh basil, and fresh cilantro. Serve over the white rice.
Notes
If you don't want the broth spicy, do not add in the chiles until the end when garnishing.
When storing, store the rice and the curry in separate containers
