Directions
Makes 4 servings.
- Slice & quarter Squash and Zucchini. Quarter onion and cut into 1/2" strips. Chop 10 fresh basil leaves (about 2 T). Put all in a Zip-Loc baggie with olive oil, salt and black pepper. Shake it real good to coat everything. Marinate in fridge for about an hour or two.
- Prepare white rice according to package. Set aside when it's ready.
- Heat a 12" skillet or wok to med-hi. Add chili oil, red pepper flakes and minced garlic. Sautee for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in veggies and canned chicken and stir. Cook until onions are desired tenderness.
- Move veggies to 1 side of the pan, then add eggs. (break yokes and scramble eggs) Keep the eggs & veggies separate until eggs are almost cooked. Then stir eggs and veggies together.
- Add rice and stir it all together.
- Add fish sauce, then stir in remaining 5-10 basil leaves. Remove from heat and serve. Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil if desired.
NOTE: For a lower-sodium recipe, use 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of canned chicken. Also, you can reduce the fish sauce, which has a lot of sodium.
