Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 1 sliced onion and 2 chopped chilies, stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Add 1 lb ground chicken, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes, letting it brown slightly.
Step 3
Stir in 2 diced tomatoes and 1 cup Thai basil leaves. Cook until tomatoes soften and basil wilts, about 2 minutes. Season with 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp sugar.
Step 4
In a separate pan, fry 4 eggs sunny-side up in 1 tbsp oil until whites are set and edges crispy, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Serve the chicken over steamed rice, top each portion with a fried egg and cucumber slices on the side.
