Instructions: 

  • Ok let's prep all of our aromatics for the ground chicken mixture. Mince and slice garlic, ginger, onions, lemongrass, chili, and cilantro stems.
  • Place a lightly oiled pan over medium high heat. Once at temperature, saute garlic, ginger, onions, lemongrass, chili, and cilantro stems for 1-2 minutes. From here drop in the ground chicken and using a wooded spoon break up the chicken and fry until lightly browned. Season with salt. Once chicken is browned add in the lime juice, zest, fish sauce, and the Thai basil. Stir and then remove from heat.
  • Now let's tackle the dipping sauce. In a small bowl add in the lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, thai chili, and garlic. Mix until sugar dissolves.
  • We are ready to eat. Grab yourself a lettuce leaf, load it up with chicken, top with herbs, and then drizzle on the dipping sauce. Enjoy!!!
