Thai Cashew Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2-4 Thai chilies, diced small
  • 1 Tbsp oil for frying
  • 2 tsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 cup Thai basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup cashews

Heat oil in pan. Add chilies and garlic in oil and stir for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add in chicken and stir until chicken is cooked through.

Mix together oyster sauce, soy sauce and sugar. Pour over chicken and stir for another minute.

Add in basil leaves and stir. Turn off heat. Basil only needs to cook for a very short time and it will continue to wilt when you remove it from the heat. Don't overcook the basil or it loses its flavor.

Serve over rice.
