Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and fresh ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the green curry paste to the skillet, stirring well to coat the onion mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and add the chicken pieces.
Cook the chicken in the liquid for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli florets to the skillet.
Continue to simmer for another 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
Stir in the fresh basil leaves, lime juice, and sea salt, allowing the flavors to meld for a few more minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
