1 lb chicken thighs (into strips or slivers) or 1 lb chicken breast, sliced (into strips or slivers)
1 large red bell pepper, sliced
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 -3 Thai red chili peppers or 1 -3 jalapeno, seeds removed and thinly sliced

  • Continue to stir fry until the chicken is nearly cooked through, about 2 minutes, then add the sauce.

  • Stir in the fresh basil at the end.
  • Squeeze a little lime juice on top if you have some limes on hand.

This was a great recipe! I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and it was still very tender. I also added some chopped peanuts for extra crunch.

I made this last night and it was fantastic! I added a bit of extra ginger and garlic, and it was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.

This stir-fry was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. It was a great way to use up some leftover chicken.
