Spicy Basil Chicken

I just LOVE this recipe when I'm craving Thai spices. I'm a huge fan of basil, I pretty much want to put it in every dish. Ok, maybe every other. It's divine.


Spicy Basil Chicken

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons chili oil [I used fresh chilis, you can also the garlic chili sauce]
2 cloves garlic
3 hot chile peppers
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
5 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 cup fresh mushrooms
1 cup chopped onions
1 bunch fresh basil leaves

Cooking:
1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the garlic and chile peppers until golden brown. Mix in chicken and sugar, and season with garlic, salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is no longer pink, but not done.

2. Stir oyster sauce into the skillet. Mix in mushrooms and onions, and continue cooking until onions are tender and chicken juices run clear. Remove from heat, and mix in basil. Let sit 2 minutes before serving.
