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

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.

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.
