Stir-fried Chicken & Basil
The main ingredients. Onions, peppers, basil, garlic.
Saute until tender. I might have used a touch too much oil. Regardless it was a delicious blend of olive and avocado oils.
At this point, you could bottle the perfume coming out of the pan. In just a moment you're going add a blend of broth, fish sauce, sugar and a splash of soy sauce. The pungency will knock you out when you do. Step away from the steam. Serve hot over a rice of your choice. Enjoy.
Oh, and if you think of it, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice. I didn't, but I'm pretty sure the flavor would have gone through the roof if I had. Also, this was supposed to be "Spicy." Even with a whole jalapeno, it wasn't quite. Next time I'll add a splash or two of hot sauce if the chile doesn't do enough.

So true about fish sauce. Wretched at first, but it dissolves into something magical.
I really just love this dish.
