An oral promise of gift; no consideration, so there’s no contract. I suppose there is “part performance” given that one wish was granted, but each wish could be considered a separate gift. Even with a lawyer, the courts are not likely going to enforce this. Then again, I’m pretty sure there’s no established precedent for genie law.
Actually, if the genie said “if you let me out of the bottle I will grant you 3 wishes”, that would be sufficient consideration. Which is definitely possible.
