Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/3 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4), cut into 1-by-2-inch pieces
2 tbsp asian fish sauce ( nam pla or nuoc mam)
1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp water
1 1/2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp cooking oil
1 large onion , cut into thin slices
3 fresh red chiles , seeds and ribs removed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups lightly packed basil leaves

Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine the chicken with the fish sauce, soy sauce, water, and sugar.In a large nonstick frying pan or a wok, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the chiles and garlic; cook, stirring, 30 seconds longer.
Remove the chicken from the marinade with a slotted spoon and add it to the hot pan. Cook until almost done, stirring, about 3 minutes. Add the marinade and cook 30 seconds longer. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the basil. Serve topped with the remaining 1/2 cup basil.
Wine Recommendation: Look for a rich but dry white wine, such as a pinot gris from the Alsace region in France.
Notes: Asian fish sauce is available at Asian markets and many supermarkets
