4 boneless chicken thighs cut up

1 Tb vegetable oil

4 garlic cloves chopped fine

2 small fresh chilies (jalapeno or serrano. A thai pepper would likely be too hot)

1 Tb fish sauce

2 t sugar

1 t soy sauce

1/4 t freshly ground pepper

1 1/2 c fresh basil, calls for Holy Basil, but Sweet Basil works fine

Add chilies, broth, fish sauce sugar, soy sauce, and pepper. Stir-fry until combined.
