Ingredients
4
skinless boneless chicken breasts
8
thighs
1 cup (250 mL)
chicken broth
2 tbsp (30 mL)
soya sauce
1 tbsp (15 mL)
each of sugar and sesame oil
2 tsp (10 mL)
each of dried basil and hot-garlic chili sauce
1
red pepper (optional)
1 tbsp (15 mL)
cornstarch
1/2 cup (125 mL)
each of coarsely chopped fresh cilantro and mint leaves
cooked rice (optional)
Instructions
1
Remove any visible fat from chicken. Pour broth into a wide frying pan and set over medium heat. While it is coming to the boil add soya sauce, sugar, sesame oil, basil and hot-garlic chili sauce.
2
Slice chicken into wide strips. Stir into boiling sauce. Cover. Slice pepper into bite-size strips and stir into sauce. Cover and reduce heat so mixture just simmers. Simmer until chicken is almost cooked, about 8 minutes. Stir often.
3
Stir cornstarch with 2 Tbsp (30 mL) cold water until completely dissolved. Pour into chicken mixture and stir until thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in fresh cilantro and mint and spoon over rice.
