Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Basil Chicken Stir Fry Dish.
Step 1
To start, grab a bowl and combine soy sauce, water, and sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 2
Next, add your chicken pieces to the bowl, ensuring theyβre well-coated in the marinade.
Step 3
Let them soak up those delicious flavors for about 30 minutes.
Step 4
While the chicken is marinating, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Step 5
Toss in the sliced green onions and stir-fry them for a minute, then add the chopped garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Once done, transfer this aromatic mixture to a small bowl and set it aside for later.
Step 7
Now, pour in the remaining three tablespoons of vegetable oil into the skillet.
Step 8
Add the marinated chicken along with all the marinade, cooking until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, which should take about five minutes.
Step 9
As the chicken cooks, stir in fresh spinach leaves and cover the skillet.

Let it cook for about four minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts beautifully.
