Course: Main Course
Serves:
Ingredients
- 3 green onions sliced
- 1 tsp. chili sauce (I used Sriracha)

- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tbsp. fish sauce

- 2 Tbsp. oil
- 2 1?2 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 tsp. brown sugar
- 3 chicken breasts (cut into bite-size pieces; I had some leftover grilled chicken that worked just fine)
- 2 bell peppers diced
- 1 bok choy sliced
- 2 Tbsp. oil for stir-frying
- handful fresh basil (for garnish optional)
- couscous or brown rice for serving
Directions
- Combine green onions through brown sugar for sauce and set aside.
- In a large frying pan, over medium heat, using the oil, cook the chicken until mostly done.
- Add the onions, bok choy and peppers and cook until softened.
- Add the sauce and simmer just a few minutes.
- Serve over brown rice or couscous and garnish with the basil.

The Verdict: It was super basil-y, definitely not bland! I loved it. DH likened it to an IPA–the first few sips are a bit overpowering, but then it mellows out. I loved the flavor of the lime basil but next time I won’t add additional basil to the sauce.
