My re-creation of this appetizer from P.F.Changs.  The P.F. Changs version contains mushrooms and sits on a bed of fried mung bean noodles, but if you don’t have all of those ingredients at home you can try this one.

3/4 lb. ground chicken
1/4 C. chopped fresh basil or 1T dried basil
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 large garlic cloves, finely minced
1 large jalapeno chili, chopped fine
1 tsp.  garlic chili sauce or hot pepper sauce such as Tabasco
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
2 Tbsp.  Vegetable Oil
Boston lettuce leaves
Chopped green onions (optional)
Roasted peanuts, chopped (optional)

Combine first seven ingredients in a bowl and stir to blend well. Heat both oils in a heavy medium sized skillet till hot but not smoking. Add chicken mixture and sauté until chicken is just cooked through (about 5 minutes). Transfer chicken mixture to a platter and arrange lettuce leaves around edges. Serve, passing the chopped green onions and/or chopped roasted peanuts if you are using these.

Thanks to rgboomer for sharing this recipe.
