Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

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 small Serrano peppers*
1/4 cup chicken broth or
water
2 teaspoons Asian fish sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves, washed well and patted dry
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice or to taste

Steps:

Freeze chicken, wrapped in plastic wrap, 30 minutes to make slicing easier. Cut chicken lengthwise (along grain) into thin strips. Heat a wok or heavy skillet over high heat. 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 until basil is wilted but still green. Stir in lime juice. Serve chicken with white rice. *Remember to wear rubber gloves.
