In a pan, heat up 2 tbsp vegetable oil and sauté onion, ginger, chili, and garlic for 1 minute.
(Add carrots to this dish for extra nutrients and a pop of color.)
Add in chicken and cook until brown
(Use boneless chicken breast or thigh for a more convenient way to prepare this dish.)
Pour in the 2 tbsp fish sauce and chicken stock. Bring to a boil and then simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
Add in the papaya and continue to simmer until tender and the chicken is cooked through. This takes about 30 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste then serve hot.
