Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 ½ tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tsp fish sauce
  • ⅓ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, chopped
  • 1 shallot, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, freshly grated
  • 1 tsp Thai red chilis, minced
  • 1 cup Thai basil leaves, sliced
  • 1 cup green beans, cooked
  • 2 cups freshly cooked white rice

Instructions

  • Make the sauce: combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, chicken broth, and brown sugar.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, cook the chopped chicken until fully cooked. Add the sliced shallot, minced garlic, grated ginger, and Thai chilis. Cook for about 3 minutes and pour in the sauce.
  • Cook until reduced and the sauce has glazed the chicken. Remove from heat and mix in the cooked green beans and basil leaves. Serve over freshly cooked white rice.

Notes

  1. If you are feeding children, I recommend avoiding the red Thai Chilis. They can be quite spicy so go easy on them. You can always add more if needed.
  2. Do not add salt to the dish, remember oyster sauce, soy sauce, and fish sauce are high in sodium.
  3. The skillet needs to be hot before adding the oil, and the oil needs to be hot before adding the chicken.
