Who doesn’t love Thai food? Well, now you can skip the delivery fees and make it at home!
This makes for a great weeknight meal because it cooks in just minutes… and an even better meal prep for weekday lunches! The recipe does call for Thai basil leaves but 100% works with just regular basil. You can also add in more chilies if you’d like.. I like a tiny kick of heat but nothing overwhelming so 2 chilies was enough for me but 3 or 4 would definitely kick it up a notch!
Ingredients
- 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 shallots sliced thin
- 5-6 cloves garlic sliced
- 2 thai chilies de-seeded and sliced
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce or shoyu
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
- 1/4 cup chicken broth I used chicken bone broth
- 1 large bunch Thai basil leaves or regular basil
Instructions
-
Heat oil in a large wok (if you have one, otherwise us a large non stick pan preferably with high sides) on high heat. Add in shallots, garlic and chilies and stir for about 2 minutes before adding the chicken. Using a wooden spoon, break up the chicken into small pieces.
-
After 2-3 minutes, add in soy sauce, fish sauce, hoisin, sesame oil and honey and mix thoroughly while still using the spoon to break up the chicken.
-
Add in the chicken broth and thai basil leaves until they wilt down.
-
Serve over some cooked white rice and enjoy!
