Serves:

Ingredients

2 cups cooked jasmine rice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound chicken breast, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 Thai chili peppers, thinly sliced
1 cup bell peppers, diced
1 cup onions, diced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup fresh basil leaves
4 fried eggs, optional for serving

Instructions

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic and Thai chili peppers and stir fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add diced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
Push the chicken to one side of the skillet and add diced bell peppers and onions to the other side. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are slightly tender.
Push the chicken and vegetables to one side again and add cooked jasmine rice to the other side. Break up any clumps of rice with a spatula and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Pour the sauce over the rice and mix well until everything is evenly coated.
Add fresh basil leaves to the skillet and stir fry for another minute until the basil is wilted.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the spicy basil chicken fried rice hot with a fried egg on top, if desired.
