Instructions
-
Make the Coconut Lime Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, chicken stock, lime juice, honey, cornstarch, ginger, and lemongrass until smooth. Set aside.
-
Cook the Chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked. Transfer to a clean plate.
-
Start the Sauce: Add remaining olive oil to the pan. Stir in white scallion parts and garlic. Cook 2 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant. Pour in the coconut-lime mixture and whisk. Bring to a gentle simmer.
-
Add the Broccoli: Stir broccoli into the simmering sauce. Toss for 1–2 minutes until coated and tender-crisp.
-
Combine Everything: Return chicken to the pan. Toss gently until the chicken and broccoli are fully coated with sauce. Remove from heat.
-
Adjust Seasoning: Taste and add more lime juice, honey, or salt if needed.
-
Serve Warm: Garnish with cilantro, green scallion parts, and chiles. Serve over rice or noodles.
