Thai-style Three Sauce Basil Chicken (Gluten-Free)

Celiac.com 03/11/2014 - Here's an easy to make recipe for Thai-style chicken that combines three sauces, onions, peppers, garlic, and, of course, plenty of basil.

If you like chicken, and you like basil, and you're open to Asian-style dishes, you will likely enjoy this tasty chicken dish. I like to serve it over rice, and I sometimes pair it with a nice Thai-style vegetable curry.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves, sliced ¼-inch thick

Sauce 1

• 2 tablespoons gluten-free fish sauce

Sauce 3

Directions:
Rinse chicken pieces and pat dry with paper towels.

In a medium bowl, mix cornstarch, salt and pepper. Toss in chicken strips and toss until well-coated with cornstarch.

Heat oil in wok. Stir-fry onions and peppers until soft. Remove and keep warm.

Add oil to wok as needed and stir-fry chicken, garlic, and pepper flakes until chicken is done.

Add basil, stirring just until hot-crisp, and beginning to wilt.

Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately over rice.
