Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped fine
2 small fresh red or green Thai (bird) chilies or serrano chilies, or to taste, seeded and minced (wear rubber gloves)
1/4 cup chicken broth or water
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce (preferably naam pla)
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice or to taste
Accompaniment: Thai Sticky Rice orThai Jasmine Rice

Steps:

  • Heat a wok or heavy skillet over high heat until hot. Add oil and heat until hot but not smoking. Add garlic and stir-fry until golden. Add chicken and cook, stirring constantly to prevent sticking, until all chicken is opaque white, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add chilies, broth or water, fish sauce, sugar, soy sauce, and black pepper and stir-fry until combined. Add basil and stir-fry 30 seconds. If using holy basil, stir-fry 1 minute more, or until basil is wilted but still green. Stir in lime juice.
  • Serve chicken with rice.

(Chicken Stir-Fry with Holy Basil) Two of the common types of basil used in Thailand are now available in North America. Bai horapha tastes like a good strong Italian sweet basil and can be found in Asian markets and some supermarkets, usually sold as Asian basil or Thai basil. The basil traditionally used in this recipes is bai gaprow, or holy basil which can be harder to find because of its shorter shelf life. Holy basil hasn't much taste when raw, but when cooked it becomes strong and distinctive. Asian basil makes a very good substitute, though it can't be cooked as long or it will lose flavor.
