In a medium-sized soup pot over medium heat, melt 1 Tbsp of the ghee. Add the onion and sauté until translucent. Add the ginger, garlic, and 1 tsp of salt and sauté for 1 minute. Add the curry paste and red pepper flakes and reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the coconut milk, stock, coconut aminos, fish sauce, and lemongrass. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Add the chicken to the pot and turn the heat back up to medium-low. Cook for 15 minutes, then flip the chicken and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, sauté the carrots, zucchini, and bell pepper in about 1/2 Tbsp of the ghee. Season the vegetables with a pinch of salt.
After the chicken has cooked in the curry sauce for 25 minutes, add the sautéed vegetables to the pot and stir to combine all of the ingredients. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for another 20 minutes, until it has reduced slightly (by about 1/2 inch to 1 inch).
While the sauce is simmering, make the cauliflower rice.
Remove the chicken from the sauce and shred it with two forks, if desired. Discard the bones. Also remove and discard the lemongrass stalks. Add the shredded chicken back to the sauce and stir to combine. To serve, plate the chicken curry over the cauliflower rice and enjoy.

Notes

You can serve this with cauliflower rice or regular rice, which really makes for a sturdy meal that will fill you up.
