Bring chicken stock and smashed lemongrass, ginger and garlic to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer and add chicken breast to pot. Poach about 10 minutes. Remove and cool slightly.
When cool enough to handle, pull apart chicken into bite size pieces.
Add curry paste, coconut milk, soy sauce and fish sauce to broth. Return to simmer.
Return chicken to pot and add sliced onion and red pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes until warmed through.
Serve with cilantro, sliced green onions and avocado. Sprinkle red pepper flakes if you like it spicy.
