Basil Chicken — Wok-style

by

Since I grow basil, I seem to have it in abundance this time of year! I found this recipe online the other day, modified it a little bit for our “elementary” pursuits!

Basil Chicken
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh basil, sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded
2 T minced garlic
1 onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 T oil

Heat wok, add tablespoon oil and chicken. Stir-fry until chicken is almost done. Puree 2 slices onion, 2 slices bell peppers, 2 cloves garlic, jalapeno, 1 tablespoon oil in blender or food processor. Add pureed mixture to wok. Stir for one minute. Add rest of peppers and onions. Stir-fry two minutes. Add rest of ingredients and stir-fry one minute. Serve over steamed rice.

    If you don’t have fresh basil, how does that measurement translate into dried? Is it the same?
