Chili Chicken with Oyster Sauce

This spicy and savory dish combines tender chicken with a flavorful sauce and fresh herbs for a quick and delicious meal. Perfect for any weeknight dinner!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons chili oil
• 3 hot chile peppers, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 teaspoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 5 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 bunch fresh basil leaves

Directions

Follow these steps to prepare this mouth-watering dish:

1. Heat the chili oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced chile peppers and chopped garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant and slightly browned.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, followed by the sugar, garlic salt, and black pepper. Cook the chicken until it is no longer pink, but still slightly undercooked in the middle (about 5-6 minutes).
3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and oyster sauce. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the onion softens and the chicken is fully cooked through.
4. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves. Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
