1 lb chicken thighs (into strips or slivers) or 1 lb chicken breast, sliced (into strips or slivers)
1 large red bell pepper, sliced
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 -3 Thai red chili peppers or 1 -3 jalapeno, seeds removed and thinly sliced

  • Continue to stir fry until the chicken is nearly cooked through, about 2 minutes, then add the sauce.

  • Stir in the fresh basil at the end.
  • Squeeze a little lime juice on top if you have some limes on hand.

This stir-fry was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more sauce next time.

I love the combination of chicken and peppers in this stir-fry. The basil adds a nice touch, but I think it would be just as good without it.

I'm not a huge fan of basil, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm glad I did because the basil actually added a really nice flavor to the dish. It was subtle, but it made a big difference.

This stir-fry is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken from the night before and it worked perfectly in this recipe. The dish was easy to make and came together quickly.
