Spicy Thai Basil Chicken with Egg
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 Thai chile peppers, or more to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled, or more to taste
  • 1 chicken breast half, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 14 leaves Thai basil
Instructions
1
Preheat a skillet by spraying it with cooking spray and placing it over medium heat; cook the eggs in batches until they are scrambled and set, approximately 5 minutes. Distribute cooked rice evenly between two bowls and top each bowl with scrambled eggs.
2
Mince Thai chile peppers and garlic using a mortar and pestle or a food processor; combine the minced ingredients in a bowl to create a flavorful paste.
3
Reheat the skillet by spraying it with cooking spray and increasing the heat to medium-high; cook the pepper-garlic mixture for about 1 minute, stirring constantly until it is fragrant and the garlic is golden brown. Add diced chicken to the skillet; cook and stir until the chicken reaches an intermediate level of doneness, roughly 3 minutes.
4
Combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar in a small bowl to create a savory marinade; pour the marinade over the chicken and cook, stirring constantly, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, approximately 3 minutes more. Add fresh basil leaves to the skillet and stir for a brief period of 10 seconds. Remove the skillet from heat and continue stirring until the basil is wilted; spoon the chicken mixture over cooked rice and scrambled eggs.
