Thai Basil Chicken

I am always looking for easy midweek meals to throw together. I found this on Skinnytaste.com and loved it! Super easy to make and lots of flavor. Definitely use all the basil, I thought I might not need all of it, but it definitely adds to the flavor!

Thai Basil Chicken

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/4 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 serrano chile, seeded and minced (keep seeds for extra hot)
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable or canola oil
  • 3 cups fresh Thai or regular basil leaves
  • cooked jasmine rice, optional for serving
Directions:
In a bowl marinate the chicken with oyster sauce and soy sauce 10 minutes.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat, when hot add the oil, garlic and chili and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Increase the heat to high and add the chicken and cook, stirring until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the basil and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
Serve over rice.
