I needed a quick weeknight recipe to throw together and this Spicy Basil Chicken did the trick! It was super quick and simple to make, it tasted scrumptious too. I served this dish with jasmine rice for a healthy and delicious meal. I added spaghetti squash for the bottom of mine. Super yum. The best part of the dish was the fresh basil I added. My kids and husband loved and approved!

I needed a quick weeknight recipe to throw together and this Spicy Basil Chicken did the trick! It was super quick and simple to make, it tasted scrumptious too.

Ingredients

Paleo Spicy Basil Chicken (Sibo Friendly, Low Fodmap, Gluten Free)

2 tsp peanut oil
2 leeks (green parts only)
2 lbs. organic ground chicken breast
1 1/2 tbsp. garlic infused oil
2 tbsp. Red Boat Fish Sauce (gluten-free)
4 tbsp. coconut aminos
2 tsp honey (clover)
1 tsp sriracha sauce (more if you want it spicy)
1 tbsp. water
1 fresh bunch of chopped basil

Instructions

Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add leeks to the pan; cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add the chicken and garlic oil to the pan; cook until browned, stirring often, until cooked through.
Combine the fish sauce, honey, coconut aminos, sriracha, and water together, stirring with a whisk. Add the mixture to the chicken, and cook for 1 minute or until the mixture distributes throughout, stirring to coat the chicken. Remove from heat, then add the fresh basil. Serve immediately.
