Thai Basil Chicken- Pad Kapow

Living in Thailand back in 2002-2004, this was by far my favorite dish. There are many variations of this recipe. My sisters have their version, my mom has hers, and of course my wife Allison has hers. Allison says she makes the best, I wont disagree, it is pretty good, but here is my version. :)

Ingredients:

1-1.5 lb Chicken (i use boneless thighs)
1- Onion
1- Red Bell Pepper
5-Cloves of Garlic
1- Habenero pepper (can sub Thai Chili's if you have those where you live)

2- Serrano peppers (can sub Thai Chili's if you have those where you live)
1-Handfull of Fresh Basil (Chopped)
2 Tbsp Oil
1 Tbsp Sugar
2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Fish Sauce
3 Tbsp Oyster Sauce

I start by cutting my onion and red bells, set aside. I then cut my garlic and the chilis and then mash them with my mortar and pestal.

Add oil to the Wok or Skillet, put to medium high. Cook onion and red bells for about 3 minutes. Add food processed chicken and cook while stirring for about 3 minutes.

Add the Garlic and chili and cook another 5 min or until chicken is cooked through. Add the 3 different sauces and the sugar. Cook another 3-5 minutes. Add Basil and cook on low for about 1 minute or until wilted. Serve over jasmine rice.
