Slice the chicken breast into thin, bite-sized strips and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved. Set this sauce aside.
Mince the garlic, finely chop the red chilies, and grate the ginger. Prepare the vegetables by slicing the bell pepper into strips, trimming the green beans, and cutting the carrot into matchsticks.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once hot, add the garlic, ginger, and chili to the wok and stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced chicken to the wok and stir fry for 4-5 minutes, or until it is cooked through and lightly golden.
Add the prepared vegetables (bell pepper, green beans, and carrot) to the wok. Stir fry for another 3-4 minutes, ensuring the vegetables remain crisp-tender.
Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables, tossing everything to evenly coat. Cook for 1-2 more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is well combined.
Turn off the heat and stir in fresh basil leaves.
Serve the stir fry immediately over cooked jasmine rice with a wedge of lime on the side for squeezing over the dish.
