Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean chicken breast
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Fresh Thai basil leaves
- 2 medium Red chili
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients. Thinly slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Thinly slice the red chili peppers.
In a small bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, water, and black pepper. Stir well to mix. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the pan and swirl to coat.
Add the chopped garlic and sliced chili peppers to the pan and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced chicken to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken pieces are cooked through and slightly browned.
Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the chicken, and toss to coat everything evenly.
Stir in the fresh Thai basil leaves and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the basil is wilted and the sauce is well absorbed.
Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice or your preferred low-fat alternative.
