Ingredients

• 2 tsp Olive Oil
• 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 Shallots, diced small
• 2-3 Thai Chiles, minced
• 8 oz. Green Beans, trimmed and chopped
• 1 lb. Ground Chicken
• 1 Cup Basil Leaves
• 1/2 Lime, juice

• 2 Chili Sauce, for serving

For the sauce

• 1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
• 2 Tbs Oyster Sauce
• 2 tsp Fish Sauce
• 1 Tbs Soy Sauce
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1 Tbs Cornstarch

Instructions

1. Mix together ingredients for the sauce and set aside
2. Sauté the garlic, shallots and Thai chiles in olive oil over medium high heat until shallots are translucent (~3 min); add the ground chicken and sauté until cooked through; add the green beans and sauté for ~3 more minutes
3. Pour in the sauce (mix it with a spoon first because the cornstarch will settle) and bring to a boil so that it thickens; mix in the basil and lime and turn off the heat
