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. 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. Store your fiery Thai basil chicken leftovers in airtight containers to preserve the flavors and prevent the dish from drying out.
