Number Of Ingredients 10

10 garlic cloves, minced
6 fresh Thai chiles, thinly sliced crosswise
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Asian fish sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
4 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Freshly ground pepper
3 cups loosely packed fresh holy basil leaves, plus more for garnish
Sticky or steamed jasmine rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Mash together garlic and chiles using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a large knife. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is just golden, about 20 seconds.
  • Add chicken; cook, stirring often, until chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Stir in fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Add basil; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Season with more pepper, if desired. Serve over rice. Garnish with basil.

I didn't like this dish at all. The sauce was too spicy and the chicken was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was okay. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste and the chicken was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. The sauce was flavorful and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Next time, I'll use less chili peppers.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The sauce is so flavorful that they won't even notice they're eating broccoli or bell peppers.

I love how versatile this dish is. You can easily adjust the heat level by adding more or less chili peppers. You can also add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or carrots.
