Very yummy! I made minor changes to suit what i had on hand. I used ground turkey instead of chicken, I didn't have the thai peppers, so I used Lee Kum Kee Chili pepper sauce. I added some shredded cabbage as I was sauteeing the garlic...it was a great addition! We ate this in lettuce wraps.This would be great in potstickers also. Great base recipe! I would highly recommend!

This is delicious and quick served with steamed white basmati rice! I added half an onion with the garlic and some multicolored bell peppers with the chilis.

I would have given this recipe 5 stars but I did have to do some additions of my own. With the extra's I have to admit this dish is going into "my favorete's" recipe book. First, I didn't have any peanut oil or Thai chili's so I used 2 tbsp sesame oil and 3tbsp. of sweet chili sauce instead. As for the garlic it sounded like a bit much so I just used 5 large cloves minced. The additions where 1/2 green pepper sliced, 1/2 red pepper sliced, 1/2 white onion sliced, 2 carrots peeled/ julienned, and 1/2 lime zest/juice which were added before the basil and allowed to cook coverd on med-low heat for about 5-10 mins. Since I did add these extra's I also upped the amount of soy sauce to 3 tsp. and the fish sauce to 3 tbsp. Served with Jasmine rice and garnished with lime wedges and green onion. Sooo good. I think I will stay home for Thai more often.

A tasty dinner you can have on the table in a jiffy! As per other reviews, I used a sweet chili sauce and some hot sauce in place of the chili peppers. I also added a handful of bean sprouts and some green onion for added crunch and color. My husband and I enjoyed this very much over steamed rice.

This is a wonderful recipe! easy, healthy, and yummy. I added fresh cilantro on top of the basil to add that refreshing taste. I also added some bok choy because I like veggies in my dishes. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Love this..though my husband didn't much care for it. Served with white rice..and a litle extra fish/soy sauce to flavor the rice. Didn't have Thai chili's..only habanero's(?) so I use 4 and it was too hot..I'll probably cut this down to 2 next time..thanks so much for sharing!

I made this with ground beef, although not traditionally made with it, and it tasted good. Like other reviewers, I used sweet thai chili sauce. Also, I used crushed red pepper flakes in substition of the thai chilis and added a squeeze of lemon juice. Very simple and easy to make for a quick meal.

How could something so simple and fast be so delicious. Fell in with the herd and substituted chilis with sweet chili sauce. This is now my weekday standby - takes less time than KD or heating a pizza for the boys. I serve it on rice made in the rice cooker or as an Asian lettuce wrap.

I haven't eaten this in a restaurant so have nothing to compare it to, but I thought it was very tasty - and quick to prepare, too! I wasn't sure where to buy Thai chiles in my area, so I substituted 3 fresh, small red hot chili peppers. My daughter found this amount too hot, but my husband and I would have liked it hotter, so if you use this substitution, you will have to experiment.

First to warn everybody... this is an excellent dish, but your whole house will reek of garlic afterward! That hasn't stopped me yet. Like the others suggested, I used Thai sweet chili sauce. I served this chicken with white rice, with some thinly slices carrots and slivered almonds on top, all wrapped in iceberg lettuce leaves. For leftovers it good in a Stroman's wrap. This dish is a nice break from the norm, sooo worth the smell! lol.

I had high hopes for this recipe from all the positive reviews on site. My husband and I LOVE Thai Basil Chicken and have ordered it many times at Thai restaurants. This was ok, but definitely did not taste like it came from a restaurant as some have stated. I will continue my recipe search and would probably not make this recipe again.

It was a nice, quick recipe. Instead of Thai chili I combined sweet chili sauce and Thai chili sauce. I also added 3-4 tablespoons of peanut butter to the mixture. It taste great! Thanks!

I subbed 2 TB diced jalapenos for the thai chiles and added a tsp of thai chile paste. Only had a little fresh basil around, so I supplemented that with cilantro. Turned out great (3* HOT) and served on a bed of cabbage, it tasted like "larb gai."

I was not sure we could pull this off sucessfully with the limited ingredients we had, but regular soy sauce and sweet thai chili sause worked great and we put it on a bed of baby spinach borrowing the idea of wraps from the other reviewer. Smelling like garlic is worth it for this one.

This was GREAT!! I had some extra ground chicken in the fidge and basil outside. I used it as a filling for lettuce wraps. I also used chili sauce since I didn't have the peppers. It was perfect for a warm Saturday!
