Ingredients
  

  • 1 yellow onion finely diced
  • 6 cloves of garlic minced or grated
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger peeled and grated
  • 1 lemongrass stalk finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Thai red curry paste
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 cans full fat coconut milk 14 ounce each
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs diced
  • 1 bunch broccoli rabe ends trimmed and roughly chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil and/or cilantro thoroughly chopped
  • Steamed rice for serving
  • Arils from one pomegranate for serving
  • Chopped peanuts for serving

Equipment

  • Crockpot
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Dice the yellow onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and finely chop the lemongrass. If you haven’t done so already, trim and chop the broccoli rabe into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In your crockpot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped lemongrass. Follow this with the Thai red curry paste, fish sauce, coconut milk, and honey. Stir everything together until well combined.
  3. Next, add the diced chicken to the mixture, ensuring it is well coated with the sauce. Then, gently fold in the chopped broccoli rabe.
  4. Set your crockpot to cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld beautifully, resulting in tender chicken and perfectly cooked vegetables.
  5. Once cooked, stir in the freshly chopped basil and/or cilantro just before serving for a burst of freshness.
  6. Serve your Crockpot Thai Broccoli Rabe Chicken Curry over steamed rice. Garnish with pomegranate arils and chopped peanuts for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or less red curry paste.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with chickpeas or tofu.
  • This dish is perfect for meal prep; make a larger batch and enjoy it for lunch throughout the week!
