Pad Grapow (Thai Basil Chicken)

We tried this recipe tonight. It was originally posted by TheRichmondAvenue

We love Thai food and when I saw this I was intrigued by its simplicity and combination of flavors.

It was so good I just had to capture it just in case the original post disappears.

INGREDIENTS

1. 1 1/2 lbs skinless chicken breasts, sliced thinly
2. 2 tbsp oyster sauce
3. 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
4. 5 cloves garlic, minced
5. 1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
6. 1/3 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
7. 2 tbsp olive oil
8. 1 tbsp sesame oil
9. 3 cups fresh Thai or regular basil leaves
10. cooked jasmine rice, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a shallow bowl, toss the chicken with the oyster sauce and soy sauce and marinate for 10 minutes.
2. Mash the garlic and chile in a mortar and pestle until finely smashed (or mince with a knife).
3. In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes, then toss in the garlic/chile combo and cook for about 30 seconds. Increase the heat to high, add the chicken, and cook, stirring until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Toss the basil and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
4. Serve over jasmine rice.
