Ingredients
1
cup
chicken broth
¼
cup
coconut aminos
(or wheat-free tamari)
2
TBSP
fish sauce
2
TBSP
honey
(or maple syrup)
3
TBSP
coconut oil
(or olive oil)
3
lb
boneless, skinless chicken thighs
(coarsely chopped)
½
cup
shallots
4
cloves
garlic
2
TBSP
Thai chilies
(or other hot pepper, optional)
2
cups
fresh basil leaves
Instructions
In a bowl, stir together the broth, coconut aminos, fish sauce, and honey, and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat until hot.
Add the chopped chicken and fry for about 5 minutes until mostly cooked.
While the chicken is cooking, slice the shallots, and mince the garlic and chilies.
Add the shallots, garlic, and chilies to the chicken and continue cooking for 4 more minutes.
Add 2 tablespoons of the sauce mixture to the skillet and let it brown and caramelize for a minute or two.
Add the remaining sauce and cook another 2 minutes until the sauce is hot.
Remove the skillet from the heat.
Thinly slice the basil and add to the pan.
Stir just to combine and serve immediately over rice or cauliflower rice.
Notes
I like to stir fry some fresh veggies and serve them with the chicken for a complete meal.
