Basil Chicken
Simply put, this chicken is incredible. The basil leaves are a wonderful pairing with the savory sauce.
* Feel free to use chicken breasts if you prefer. I must say that I don't love dark meat but loved this.
* I use a skillet to make this dish, not a wok.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup sesame oil
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite sized pieces
10 garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup whole basil leaves
4 red chili peppers
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup ginger, sliced
1/2 cup rice wine
2 tablespoons sugar
Directions:
1. Heat sesame oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken in single layer and let sear before stirring until cooked.
2. Stir in soy sauce, wine, sugar, and chili peppers. Lower heat to low and simmer until juice is almost gone.
3. Add basil and stir well. Serve.
