Ingredients

10 garlic cloves, minced
6 Thai chiles, thinly sliced crosswise (I used two jalapenos, seeded and sliced)
1/4 cup canola oil (12 tsp)
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon Southeast Asian fish sauce
1 teaspoon Southeast Asian fish sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
4 1/2 teaspoons sugar (70 calories, 0 g fat, 0 g fiber)
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups fresh basil, loosely packed, Thai holy basil, plus more for garnish

Steps:

Mash together garlic and chiles using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a large knife. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is just golden, about 20 seconds.
Add chicken; cook, stirring often, until chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Stir in fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and pepper. Add basil; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Season with more pepper, if desired. Serve over rice. Garnish with basil.
