Calories: 520kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut oil
- 6 cloves garlic
- 6 whole Thai bird's eye chili peppers
- 1.5 pounds ground chicken
- ½ cup soy sauce or coconut aminos (we used a mushroom flavored soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoon natural, low carb sweetener of choice
- 3 oz Thai basil leaves
Instructions
- Start by mincing your garlic and chilis, and heating up your wok. Add the coconut oil to the wok. Add in the garlic and chilis and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Next, add the chicken to the wok. Cook thru.
- After the chicken is cooked thru, add in some of your soy sauce and natural sweetener. Cook for a few minutes, give it a taste and add more soy sauce or sweetener if you want.
- After you've seasoned the chicken, turn the heat on your wok to low or just take it off the heat completely. Add in your basil. Keep continuously moving everything for about 3 minutes. You don't want to cook the basil too much, you still want those strong flavors.
- Now, fry an egg if you're adding that to top your dish. Plate and serve this Thai Basil Chicken!
