Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce or coco aminos
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 serrano chile seeded and minced (keep seeds for extra hot)
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable or canola oil

Method
 

  1. In a bowl marinate the chicken with hoisin sauce and soy sauce for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat, when hot add the oil, garlic, and chili and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Increase the heat to high, add the chicken, and cook, stirring until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the basil and cook until it just starts to wilt about 1 minute.
  4. Serve over jasmine or sticky rice.
