Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients

    Mince the garlic and chilies, chop the onion and bell pepper, and pluck the basil leaves from their stems.

  2. Cook the Aromatics

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and chilies, and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  3. Cook the Chicken

    Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink.

  4. Add the Vegetables

    Stir in the chopped onion and bell pepper, and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until they start to soften.

  5. Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, dark soy sauce (if using), and sugar. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. If the mixture looks too dry, add a bit of chicken broth.

  6. Add the Basil

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the Thai basil leaves. They should wilt from the residual heat.

  7. Serve

    Serve the Spicy Thai Basil Chicken over cooked jasmine rice.
