Stir-Fried Chicken with Snap Peas and Basil
To prepare the chicken, cut each breast lengthwise into ½-inch strips, then cut the strips crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Using both chopped basil (mixed with the cooked chicken) and whole basil leaves (stirred in at the end) provided the full herbal flavor and fragrance we were looking for. Serve with steamed white or brown jasmine rice.

Easy & delicious
Once you get the prep done, which I did a few days in advance, the actual cooking is very fast. Delicious results!! Tasted like it came from a restaurant!

Great dish!
Full disclosure swapped oyster for fish sauce ( did not have fish), used 1 little red Asian chili pepper that was deseeded, otherwise followed recipe. Great flavors. 3 kids and my husband enjoyed always a plus when the whole fam eats and enjoys! Would like to try with green beans as pea season is sadly ending!

Good Way to Use A Summer's Bounty of Basil
I probably should have put in the full amount of basil; I held off a bit because mine is very strong. But once it came together, it could have handled the full amount. I added some bok chow for extra veggies. A nice, light dish. I used chicken thighs, which worked well.

I would just use basil in in the vinegar marinade
Made this for Sunday dinner with the parents - a bit strong on basil - I will do it next time with just the basil and vinegar marinade for the cooked chicken and I'll do my sugar snap peas - and some crushed peanuts at the end seems like a good idea

The sauce is missing
It was just okay. My family said, ‘it needs sauce and peanuts.’ If I make it again, I will use thighs as they have more fat.
