Thai Basil Chicken Recipe

If serving with rice, start that first.

Heat up a pan or wok to med-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and the shallots, stir for 2 minutes.

Add garlic and hot peppers stir for 2 minutes more until shallots are lightly brown on the edges. Scoop out into a bowl and set aside.

Without cleaning out the pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil, turn the heat to high, add ground chicken, black pepper, and salt. Stir fry a couple of minutes until the chicken is cooked and starting to brown. Sprinkle coconut sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce over the chicken and stir until incorporated.

Add the red bell pepper strips and the shallot mixture. Cook for about a minute, just enough to warm, keeping the peppers tender crisp. Add basil leaves and turn the heat off.

Serve over jasmine rice. Season with more soy sauce if desired.
