Thai Chicken with Basil Ingredients:
1 pound chicken breast, fillets, skinless & boneless, raw |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
3 garlic cloves, chopped fine |
90 g pepper, hot chili, red, raw |
1/4 cup fat-free chicken broth or water |
2 teaspoons sauce, fish, ready-to-serve |
2 teaspoons sugar |
2 teaspoons soy sauce, light |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 1/2 cups basil leaves |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
Directions:

2. Cut chicken lengthwise (along grain) into thin slices and cut slices lengthwise into thin strips.
3. Cut strips crosswise into 2 inch pieces.
4. Heat a wok or heavy skillet over high heat until hot.
5. Add oil and heat until hot but not smoking.
6. Add garlic and stir-fry until golden.
7. Add chicken and cook, stirring constantly to prevent sticking, until all chicken is opaque white, 3 to 4 minutes.
8. Add chilies, broth or water, fish sauce, sugar, soy sauce, and black pepper and stir-fry until combined.
9. Add basil and stir-fry 30 seconds. If using holy basil, stir-fry 1 minute more, or until basil is wilted but still green.
10. Stir in lime juice.
