- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 piece red chili, thinly sliced
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and slice them thinly against the grain into even strips.
Season the sliced chicken with salt and black pepper, then set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic, minced ginger, and sliced red chili. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chicken slices to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine.
Simmer the mixture for 5-6 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Stir in the lime juice and half of the fresh cilantro. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with the remaining cilantro and sliced scallions before serving.
Serve hot over steamed jasmine rice or noodles, and enjoy your Sliced Chicken Breasts in Thai Sauce!
