⏱️ Cooking Time: 15 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

  1. 1.
    Begin by heating a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced chicken breast. Stir continuously and cook until the chicken turns golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Ensure the chicken is fully cooked with no pink spots for safety.
  2. 2.
    Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic to the pan. Stir until the garlic is fragrant and begins to turn golden, about 1 minute. This enhances the overall flavor profile of the dish.
  3. 3.
    Pour in the soy sauce and fish sauce, stirring to coat the chicken evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauces to thicken slightly and seep into the chicken, creating a rich, savory taste.
  4. 4.
    Add the Thai basil leaves to the pan. Stir gently to combine, letting the basil wilt and infuse its aromatic flavors into the dish. This should take about 1 minute.
  5. 5.
    Serve the stir-fry hot, ensuring that each bite balances the umami of the sauces with the fresh aroma of basil. Enjoy immediately.
