Ingredients

• 500 grams ground chicken
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 large onion, finely sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 bird's eye chilies, chopped
• 3 tablespoons tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon palm sugar
• 100 grams fresh holy basil leaves
• 4 lime wedges
• 2 cups jasmine rice, cooked

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cooking the jasmine rice according to package instructions and set aside to keep warm.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 4

Add the garlic and bird's eye chilies and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to ensure they do not burn.

Step 5

Increase the heat to high and add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking apart the meat with a wooden spoon until it is browned and cooked through.

Step 6

Add the sliced red bell pepper to the skillet and continue cooking for another minute.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the tamari, fish sauce, and palm sugar. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 8

Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly stir in the fresh holy basil leaves until they are just wilted.

Step 10

Serve the Phad Ka Prao hot, over a bed of cooked jasmine rice, with lime wedges on the side for extra zing.
