Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
  • 2 lbs chicken breast, sliced
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp pepper
  • 4 cups vegetables of your choice (I used mushrooms, zucchini, and bell pepper. Other great options are green beans, eggplant, potato, broccoli...I don't suggest carrots or sweet potatoes.)
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 6-7 large garlic pieces
  • 1 jalapeno, deseeded and finely diced
  • 3 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1½ tbsp soy sauce (I used La Choy.)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 3-4 tbsp chopped basil
  • Cooked jasmine rice for serving
Instructions
  1. In a large deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and add the chicken pieces. Add salt and pepper. Cook the chicken until it is turning white and is mostly cooked.
  2. Next, add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Cook for 3-4 more minutes or until the onions are translucent.
  3. Stir in the fish sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar.
  4. Next, add the 4 cups of vegetables, chopped basil, and the coconut milk. Stir, bring to a boil, and then turn down to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Serve while fresh and hot over cooked rice.
  7. Enjoy!
