Cooking Instructions

Prep the Ingredients

Wash and prepare all vegetables: slice the bell pepper, julienne the carrot, and slice the onion. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken breast, soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili paste, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Cook the Chicken

Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Combine Chicken and Basil

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the Thai basil leaves and toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the basil is wilted and everything is heated through.

Serve

Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with additional basil if desired.
