Thai Basil Chicken

This is another one of those Thai-inspired dishes that reminds us of our Honeymoon. Although I'm not sure we ate anything exactly like this while we were there, the flavors still remind us of our favorite place.

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp sriracha sauce
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3/4c fresh basil leaves (about 10 leaves)


Instructions:
  • If you plan to serve this dish over rice, start the rice, cooking according to instructions on package.
  • Heat oil in a wok or deep skillet. Once hot, add onions, garlic, sriracha sauce, and pepper flakes. Saute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn
  • Add chicken and cook until chicken is no longer pink. 
  • Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and fish sauce. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Stir in the basil leaves. Turn off heat once leaves are wilted. 
  • Transfer to a serving plate or put over rice if desired.
