Start by heating 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add 1 pound of ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5 minutes.
Next, stir in 4 cloves of minced garlic and 2-3 finely chopped Thai bird chilies, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and the juice of 1 lime, stirring to combine all the flavors.
Toss in 1 cup of fresh Thai basil leaves and cook for another minute until the basil wilts. Serve the stir-fry over cooked jasmine rice or in lettuce wraps for a fresh presentation.
Garnish with lime wedges and extra basil for a pop of color and flavor.
