Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground chicken
• 1 cup Fresh Thai basil leaves
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 small Onion, thinly sliced
• 4 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
• 1 medium Red chili, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 Lime, cut into wedges for garnish
• 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all your ingredients ahead of time. Mince the garlic, thinly slice the onion and red bell pepper, and prepare the Thai basil leaves.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the low sodium soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced onion to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 5

Increase the heat to high and add the ground chicken. Stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the red bell pepper and chili, and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour the prepared sauce into the pan, stirring to coat the chicken and vegetables thoroughly.

Step 8

Finally, add the Thai basil leaves and toss them with the chicken mixture just until they begin to wilt, about 1 minute.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve the Pad Krapow hot over a bed of cooked jasmine rice.

Step 10

Garnish with lime wedges, squeezing them over the dish before eating for added freshness and acidity.
