Thai Basil Chicken (Easy Gai Pad Krapow)

• servings: 4 servings
• total time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

3 to 4 tablespoons oil

3 Thai bird chilies or holland chilies

3 shallots

5 cloves garlic ((sliced))

1 pound ground chicken

2 teaspoons sugar ((or honey))

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth ((or water))

1 bunch holy or Thai basil leaves

Directions

In a wok over high heat, add the oil, chilies, shallots and garlic, and fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the ground chicken and stir-fry for 2 minutes, breaking up the chicken into small bits.

Add the sugar, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Stir-fry for another minute and deglaze the pan with the broth. Because your pan is over high heat, the liquid should cook off very quickly.

Add the basil, and stir-fry until wilted. Serve over rice.
