Chilli Chicken and Basil

This recipe is from one of the many magazines I receive and although I don't have great luck with the most recipes I see, this one made me take a second look. I mean with ingredients like Serrano peppers, red chili paste and basil it's bound to be good right? Well it really was and it's under 200 calories per serving. Serve this with brown rice or Quinoa and you have an easy, healthy and very flavorful meal!

* This dish is SPICY. If you don't do spicy then use one pepper and remove the seeds! Other wise enjoy the heat!


Ingredients

1-2 boneless, skinless chicken breast ( or 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs )
3 cloves garlic
2 Serrano's
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
1/2 tbsp red chili paste
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp fresh cracked pepper
2 cups fresh basil

Directions

Cut the chicken into small pieces, then finely chop the garlic and chillies.

Preheat a wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil, the garlic and the chilis and fry for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Add the chicken pieces to the pan, cooking them until they're lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, red chili paste and sugar, and continue to cook until the chicken is done all the way through, another 3-4 minutes.

Add the pepper and basil and cook until the basil is just wilted, about two minutes. Serve immediately.
