Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 ½ pounds chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
¼ cup chopped white onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (13.5 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
⅔ cup white sugar
½ cup diced jarred jalapeno peppers (such as Mt. Olive®)
¼ cup rice vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ cup chopped Thai basil

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute chicken, onion, and garlic in the hot oil until chicken is no longer pink, about 6 minutes.
  • Combine coconut milk, sugar, diced jalapenos, rice vinegar, salt, and turmeric in a bowl.
  • Reduce heat to medium and pour coconut mixture into the pan with the chicken. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in basil.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they were cooked perfectly. The sauce was also very good, with just the right amount of heat.
