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.
