I've grown my own Thai basil for this recipe. It's both quick and easy. It's a keeper.

Great flavor! I used chicken tenders instead of ground chicken and realized halfway through making that I didn't have fish sauce, which would have made it even better. I did add broccoli florets to steam near the end and served over brown rice. Everyone cleaned their plates! I went lighter on the chiles due to the children, but would love the heat for just me and my husband. Will make again!

This is a great recipe- my husband says it's his favorite dish I make. I subsitute ground turkey for the ground chicken b/c it's all my grocery has been selling for a while, and I think it actually adds more flavor.

Simple, easy and scrumptious. No changes except leaving out the fish sauce and adding a bit more soy sauce and some water.

This was fantastic! I wondered about it, but decided to take a chance, and I'm glad I did. My husband especially loved it. I had dried (from the garden) basil, but it was still excellent. What a switch for a meal! The basil, chicken, and other spices just blend so well together. I don't think using ground pork or beef would give it the same flavor and character. If you have some ground chicken, take a chance on this one!

My husband and I loved this recipe. Per other reviews, I made the following changes: in place of peanut oil, used sesame oil, used about 5 cloves of minced garilc, used lean ground turkey in place of the ground chicken, used 3T of sweet chili sauce in place of the Thai chiles, 3 teaspoons of lite soy sauce, 3T of fish sauce, used the juice of 1/2 a lime, sliced up 1/2 green bell pepper, 1/2 red bell pepper, 1/2 onion, and julienned 2 baby carrots. Next time I will add more basil since it does shrink up a lot, and if you like it spicy add some red pepper flakes to taste. Excellent!

I followed some of the recommendations based on other reviews: I used sesame oil instead of peanut oil and added lime juice and zest at the same time as the soy and fish sauce. I also cut both the soy and fish sauce in half and found it still a bit salty. Overall very tasty...I would make it again with these modifications.

Excellent recipe--very quick and easy to make. The ground chicken is flavorful, and in my opinion, much tastier than any ground turkey recipe I've ever made. I added some fresh ginger for some extra flavor, and it was great!

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! I made several changes and this is now one part of my regular repetoire. First, I sautee half of a sliced onion with the garlic (in olive, not peanut, oil before adding the chicken. When the chicken is cooked, I add some veggies (multicolored bell peppers are great, as are bags of frozen organic green veggies) with the chilis (sometimes I use a jalepeno. If you add the basmati rice to the pan and mix it all together, you get the Thai version of Louisiana dirty rice.

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.
