Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for a touch of richness
  • 2 ½ pounds of succulent chicken, expertly cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ¼ cup of finely chopped white onion for a hint of sweetness
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced to release their aromatic essence
  • 1 can (13.5 ounces) of rich and creamy unsweetened coconut milk
  • ⅔ cup of pure white sugar to balance the flavors
  • ½ cup of diced jarred jalapeno peppers, like the ones from Mt. Olive®, for a spicy kick
  • ¼ cup of rice vinegar for a subtle tang
  • ½ teaspoon of salt to enhance the flavors
  • ¼ teaspoon of ground turmeric to add a warm hue
  • ¼ cup of freshly chopped Thai basil for a burst of herbal freshness

Step 1

Begin by heating vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat for a flavorful start. Saute a delightful mix of chicken, onion, and garlic in the sizzling oil until the chicken is perfectly cooked, usually taking around 6 minutes for a delicious aroma to fill the air.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, create a luscious concoction by combining creamy coconut milk, a hint of sugar for sweetness, finely diced jalapenos for a spicy kick, a dash of rice vinegar for tanginess, a pinch of salt for balance, and a sprinkle of vibrant turmeric for a burst of color.

Step 3

Next, lower the heat to a gentle medium and carefully pour the coconut-infused mixture into the pan with the savory chicken. Allow the ingredients to mingle and dance together as they come to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat to a cozy low setting and let it all simmer until the chicken is tender and the sauce has richened, typically about 6 minutes, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. Once ready, remove the skillet from the heat and delicately fold in fresh basil leaves for a final touch of freshness and flavor.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your Thai basil leaves fresh by storing them in a glass of water like a bouquet of flowers. This way, they will stay vibrant and crisp for longer.
  2. 2. Store your fiery Thai basil chicken leftovers in airtight containers to preserve the flavors and prevent the dish from drying out.
