Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 1 cup Fresh Thai basil leaves
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves (optional garnish)
• 3 cups Cooked jasmine rice (to serve)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast thinly into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the vegetables by cutting the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, red chili flakes, cornstarch, and water to create the sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and stir fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced red and green bell peppers to the pan. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes, allowing the peppers to remain slightly crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything together to coat evenly, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh Thai basil leaves, allowing them to wilt from the residual heat.

Step 9

Serve the Spicy Thai Chicken Stir Fry over a bed of cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with optional cilantro leaves, if desired.
