How Do You Make Asian Basil Chicken?
This is an Asian style dish that is just slightly spicy. The best thing about it is that it is made with few ingredients that you probably already have on hand. My husband reported that this one is a “keeper”, but its a little too spicy and green for the kids. Put rice on to cook. I use a rice cooker. Pre-heat a little oil in a wok or skillet over medium high heat. You can use water instead if you are watching the fat in your diet. Stir fry bite-size chicken pieces until nearly cooked through. Meanwhile, puree about 1/2 of the onion, about 1/4 of the pepper, garlic and jalapeno in the food processor or blender. Add the vegetable puree’ to the cooked chicken in the skillet. Cook and stir for about 1 minute. Add the rest of the sliced peppers and onions to the skillet. Stir fry for about two more minutes until the peppers are tender-crisp. Stir in fish sauce or soy sauce and heat through. This recipe makes about 4 servings. Serve with hot rice and some potstickers or eggrolls.
