Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 teaspoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons safflower oil
1 cup thinly sliced shallots (from 3 medium)
3 tablespoons minced garlic (from 5 to 6 cloves)
2 tablespoons minced serrano or Thai chile
2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves, plus more for serving
Cooked jasmine rice and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Stir together oyster sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Season chicken with salt; pat dry. Heat a large skillet or wok over high; swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Add half of chicken and cook, undisturbed, until browned on bottom, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and chicken, leaving second batch in skillet.
  • Return first batch of chicken to skillet along with shallots, garlic, and chile. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and chicken is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in oyster-sauce mixture, then basil. Remove from heat; continue stirring until basil just wilts and sauce coats chicken. Serve immediately with rice, lime wedges, and basil leaves.

This is a great recipe. I used thigh meat instead of breast and it was so tender and juicy. I also added some chopped peanuts for extra crunch.

Spicy and yummy! I love that the sauce is not too thick or too thin. I added a few extra vegetables like carrots and bell peppers, and it turned out great.
