    Ingredients arranged on a table to make low carb Thai basil chicken
    • Chicken - for this recipe we used skinless boneless chicken breast but you can substitute it for other cuts as well.
    • Basil - fresh basil leaves or Thai basil if you have it available.
    • Eggs - this recipe is traditionally served with a fried egg which adds even more flavor.
    • Green onion - adds a crunchy texture, color and flavor to the dish. You can also use shallots.
    • Garlic - a key ingredient to add flavor to the dish.
    • Soy sauce - you'll need both dark and light soy sauce for this recipe. If you're worried about the amount of sodium opt for low-sodium varieties.
    • Sesame oil - the perfect oil for stir fry's, sesame oil adds both flavor and fragrance to the dish.
    • Oyster sauce - adds extra flavor and a dark caramel color.
    • Chili - add extra chili if you want more of a kick!
    • Erythritol - like sugar, it helps to balance out the saltiness of the soy sauce and helps caramelize.

    How To Make Thai Basil Chicken

    Ready to enjoy this yummy Thai dinner? Follow the simple steps below and dig in in less than 30 minutes!

    Thai basil chicken is a quick and easy weeknight dinner packed with flavor and texture

    Step 1

    Grab a wok or wide frying pan and heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over a medium high heat. Sauté the diced chicken breast for 3 to 5 minutes.

    Step 2

    Add the green onions and garlic to the wok or pan, and stir fry for a few seconds over a high heat to combine all the flavors.

    Step 3

    Turn the heat to medium and add the dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili flakes and Erythritol. Mix and simmer until the sauce turns into a thick glaze.

    Step 4

    Remove from the heat and mix in the fresh basil leaves.

    Step 5

    In another pan, heat the remaining sesame oil and fry the eggs sunny side up. Use a spoon to drizzle the hot oil over the eggs until they're cooked.

    Step 6

    Serve the Thai basil chicken hot, topped with a fried egg.

    Storage Instructions

    In the fridge: leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Sprinkle a few drops of water over the top and pop leftovers in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes so that it doesn't dry out.

    In the freezer: if you want to make a large batch of Thai basil chicken it is great for meal prepping. Follow the cooking instructions but DO NOT add the basil. Allow to cool and then store in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight and heat in a pan then add the fresh basil when it's hot. You can also microwave in 1 minute intervals and add the fresh basil as well.
