Crispy Garlic-Pepper Chicken with Thai Basil
Enjoy a deliciously crispy chicken dish elevated with aromatic garlic, freshly cracked black pepper, and vibrant Thai basil. This recipe features tender chicken breast lightly coated in cornstarch for a delicate crunch, pan-seared to golden perfection, and finished with a burst of herbal freshness.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Cornstarch
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 cup Fresh Thai Basil (loosely packed)
1/4 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Begin by patting the chicken breast dry and slicing it into even pieces if desired for quicker cooking. Alternatively, leave whole for a thicker piece.
In a shallow bowl, combine the chicken with minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to coat.
Lightly dust the chicken with cornstarch, ensuring an even, thin coating that will crisp up during cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook on each side until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
Just before finishing, toss in the fresh Thai basil leaves to release their aroma and flavor, stirring briefly to combine with the chicken.
Plate the chicken and garnish with a little extra basil or a drizzle of the pan juices. Enjoy your flavorful, crispy garlic-pepper chicken dish.
