Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

- 3 pieces Thai bird’s eye chilies
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 4 servings Cooked jasmine rice
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Set aside.
Mince the garlic and chop the chilies finely. Slice the onion thinly, and cut the red bell pepper into thin strips.
In a small bowl, combine fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Mix well and set the sauce aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Add the garlic and chilies to the pan, stirring constantly, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the sliced chicken breast to the pan. Stir-fry the chicken until it is no longer pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the sliced onion and red bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables with the chicken until slightly softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the prepared sauce mix into the pan. Stir well to coat the chicken and vegetables in the sauce. Let it cook for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Turn off the heat and add the fresh basil leaves. Toss gently until the basil is wilted and mixed into the dish.
Serve the hot basil chicken immediately over cooked jasmine rice. Enjoy your flavorful Cambodian-inspired meal!
