Stir-fried chicken with chillies & basil
This stir-fried chicken with chilies and basil comes together quickly, making it a great option for a fast meal. You'll sear the chicken until it's nicely browned, then build layers of aromatics and a savory sauce right in the same pan. The fresh basil stirred in at the very end adds a bright, herbaceous finish to the spicy chicken.

Brown the Chicken
Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat until it's very hot, then add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken and stir-fry for 8–10 minutes, until it's browned all over. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside. - 02
Sauté Aromatics
Reheat the wok, then add the remaining oil. Toss in the chopped garlic and shallots, stir-frying for about 3 minutes until they turn fragrant and golden brown.
