Ingredients:

Serving

5 garlic cloves
2 -3 serrano peppers or 2 -3 bird chiles, stemmed
3 tbsp peanut oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, and rinsed, dried and chopped into bite-size pieces (can use mixture of breast and thighs) or 1 lb chicken thigh, rinsed, dried and chopped into bite-size pieces (can use mixture of breast and thighs)
2 red cayenne chilies , cut lengthwise into strips (optional)
1 tbsp thai fish sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 cup thai basil

Directions:

Place garlic and whole chiles in a mortar and pound to a paste or mince finely.
Place a large wok over high heat. When it is hot, add oil; swirl gently to coat the pan.
Toss in garlic mixture; stir-fry for 30 seconds or until the garlic is just golden.
Add chicken; stir-fry for 3 to 6 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, using a spatula to separate clumps and to press the meat against the hot wok.
Add cayenne chiles, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar and black pepper; stir-fry briefly. Add Thai basil; stir-fry until wilted (one quick stir), about 1 1/2 minutes, then turn out onto a large plate or shallow serving dish. Serve immediately.
