Thai Basil Chicken Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Wash and pat dry the Thai basil leaves. Mince the garlic cloves and thinly slice the red chili peppers.

2. 2

   Cut the Chicken

   Dice the boneless chicken breast into bite-sized cubes. This helps it cook evenly and quickly.

3. 3

   Marinate the Chicken

   In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking.

5. 5

   Cook the Chicken

   Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

6. 6

   Add Garlic and Chili

   Add the minced garlic and sliced red chili peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

7. 7

   Add Thai Basil

   Finally, add the Thai basil leaves to the skillet. Toss everything together for another minute until the basil is wilted and fragrant.

8. 8

   Serve

   Remove the skillet from heat and serve the Thai basil chicken hot with steamed rice or noodles.
