Ingredients:
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 lb chicken breast (boned)
2 tbsp garlic, coarsely chopped
3 tbsp nuoc nam (fish sauce)
3/4 cup basil, thinly sliced
2 tbsp sugar
2 serrano chilies
2 tbsp water
Instructions:
Skin chicken and cut into 1.25 X 1 in strips. Remove stems from
chilies and cut lengthwise into thin strips (discard the seeds). Heat
oil in wok or large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and stir until
golden brown, about 10 seconds. Add 0.5 cup of basil and the chilies
and stir-fry just until basil wilts, about 1 minute. Add chicken and
stir-fry about 3 minutes. Add nuoc mam, water and sugar and stir-fry
until sauce bubbles and thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Add
remaining 0.25 cup of basil and stir-fry until just wilted, about 5
seconds. Serve immediately with steamed rice...

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
