1. Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables:

   • Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces according to your preference.
   • Finely chop the garlic and slice the shallots. Set aside.
   • Chop the red chilies and tomato. If you prefer a spicier dish, adjust the amount of chilies to taste.

2. Cook the Aromatics:

   • Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
   • Add the garlic, shallots, red chilies, and tomato to the hot oil.
   • Sauté the mixture until the garlic and shallots become fragrant and translucent, and the tomatoes start to break down.

3. Add the Chicken:

   • Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cut chicken pieces to the skillet.
   • Stir well to coat the chicken with the aromatics.
   • Pour in enough water to just cover the chicken. Stir to combine.

4. Season the Dish:

   • Add salt and seasoning powder (such as Ro*co) to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
   • Add the kaffir lime leaves for an additional layer of aromatic flavor.
   • Allow the mixture to simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and tender, and the sauce has slightly reduced.

5. Incorporate Thai Basil:

   • Once the chicken is cooked and the flavors are well-developed, add the chopped Thai basil to the skillet.
   • Stir gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the basil releases its fragrant aroma.

6. Serve:

   • Your Ayam Kemangi is now ready to be served.
   • Garnish with additional Thai basil if desired.
