Chicken With Basil and Red Peppers image

This recipe is from "Main Course Classics" which has some fabulous recipes. I changed it only slightly and was very happy with the results. There are alot of Thai style chicken basil recipes on here but I didn't see this particular one when searching, it is extremely simple and very good. It can be presented very nicely with fresh basil leaves and a few fresh diced red peppers but I could just eat it straight out of the wok with a spatula. I hope you enjoy this.

I didn't have any red peppers, so I used green peppers instead. It still tasted amazing.

I'm allergic to basil, so I substituted it with oregano. It turned out great!

I'm not usually a big fan of chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was so tender and juicy, and the sauce was to die for.
