Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts2 Thai bird chilies or serrano chilies1 tsp soy sauce2 cups loosely packed fresh basil1 tbsp fish sauce3 cloves garlic1/2 tbsp peanut oil or canola oil1/2 tbsp red-chili paste1 tsp sugar1 tsp fresh cracked pepper
1.
Finely chop the garlic and chilies, then use the side of your knife to press them together into a rough paste. (Add a pinch of salt to make this process easier.)
2.
Preheat a wok or stainless-steel sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and the garlic-chili paste you just made, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes (be careful not to burn the garlic). Chop the chicken into small pieces and add them to the pan, cooking until they're lightly browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, red-chili paste, and sugar, and continue to cook until the chicken is done all the way through, another 3 to 4 minutes.
3.
Add the pepper and basil, and cook until the basil is just wilted, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
