Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Slice the bell peppers, carrot, and onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic.

2

Stir-Fry the Chicken

Heat the cooking oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until they are cooked through and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Add Vegetables

Add the minced garlic, sliced onion, bell peppers, and carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

4

Add Sauces and Basil

Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce. Stir well to combine. Add the basil leaves and stir-fry for an additional minute until the basil is wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5

Serve

Remove from heat and serve hot over rice or noodles.
