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 dish was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but I don't think I'll be making it again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it! He said the chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I think I'll try making it again with less chili peppers next time.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this dish was surprisingly mild. The chicken was tender and the sauce was flavorful, but not too hot. I would definitely make this again.

I made this dish last night and it was delicious! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was amazing. I especially liked the addition of the lime leaves, which gave the dish a really nice citrusy flavor. I will definitely be making this again
