Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast thinly sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic minced
1 cup bell pepper sliced
1 cup onion sliced
1 cup Thai basil leaves fresh
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1-2 teaspoons chili paste

Jasmine Rice

2 cups jasmine rice rinsed
3 cups water

Instructions

1 Begin by rinsing the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice with 3 cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
2 While the rice is cooking, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3 Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4 Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
5 Add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the skillet, stirring frequently, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
6 Stir in the soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and chili paste. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
7 Finally, add the fresh Thai basil leaves, stir well, and cook for just 1 more minute until the basil is wilted.
8 Fluff the cooked jasmine rice with a fork and serve the spicy Thai basil chicken stir-fry over the rice.
