Get your prep done: Dice the shallot and mince the garlic. Season the chicken tenders with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and turmeric.
In a cup, whisk together the fish sauce, water, cornstarch, and honey until smooth.
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken tenders in a single layer and sear for 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the shallot and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the chili crisp, coconut milk, and the fish sauce mixture. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, then bring to a gentle boil.
Stir in the basil and lime juice. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer for 3 minutes, or until cooked through. Serve over rice. Enjoy!
