- Main Ingredients:
1 lb ground chicken 🍗
2 tablespoons vegetable oil 🥄
4 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
2-3 Thai bird’s eye chilies, chopped (adjust to taste) 🌶️

Directions
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking.
- Sauté Garlic and Chilies: Add the minced garlic and chopped chilies to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Use a spatula to break it apart. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Ensure there’s no pink remaining.

- Add Basil: Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the fresh Thai basil leaves. Stir gently until the basil is wilted and well combined.
