1 (1 inch) piece galangal, thinly sliced

1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, sliced

Directions
-
Devein lime leaves and cut into very thin slices; set aside.

Combine chicken broth and coconut milk in a large pot; bring to a boil. Add chiles, galangal, and ginger and simmer over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Add chicken, sliced lime leaves, and lemon grass and continue to cook until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 10 minutes.

Cook's Note:
You can make a flavorful chicken broth by simmering a rotisserie chicken carcass, garlic, onion, celery, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce for a couple of hours in a stockpot with as much water as you desire, instead of using pre-made. If making your own, strain solids from broth and freeze all but 4 to 5 cups of the broth for later use.
