Preparation Steps

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.

Add shallots and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

Add garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and chili. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides.

Pour in coconut milk and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.

Stir in fish sauce and lime juice. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

While the chicken is simmering, prepare the cauliflower rice. You can steam, sauté, or microwave it until tender.

Season the chicken curry with salt and pepper to taste.
