This recipe is from Main Course Classics which has some fabulous recipes. I changed it only slightly and was very happy with the results. There are alot of Thai style chicken basil recipes on here but I didn't see this particular one when searching, it is extremely simple and very good. It can be presented very nicely with fresh basil leaves and a few fresh diced red peppers but I could just eat it straight out of the wok with a spatula. I hope you enjoy this. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
6 garlic cloves (cut into thin slices) |
4 chopped scallions |
1 red bell pepper (seeded and diced) |
1 lb chicken breast (diced) |
3 tablespoons fish sauce |
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce |
1 teaspoon sugar |
24 thai basil |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in wok or frying pan over medium heat.
2. Add garlic, scallions, red pepper and stir fry 5 minutes.
3. Add chicken and cook until done.
4. Stir in fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar and cook until sauce begins to become thick (about 5-10 minutes).
5. Stir in basil leaves and cook 5 minutes or just until leaves are wilted.
6. Garnish with fresh basil if desired and enjoy.
