Chicken Basil

I don't know what I'm doing but it works.


Recipe
Half a chicken breast.
Thai basil a couple dozen leaves. 
1/4 tsp shrimp paste
1/8 fish oil
2 garlic cloves
1/4 tsp Red chile flakes
Salt / pepper

I've never had chicken basil before but I wanted to make something I've never had before. I decided to just wing it without looking at any recipes. I started by sautéing some garlic cloves with some red chile flakes. Next I added the chicken along with the shrimp paste, salt and pepper. Once the chicken is cooked remove from heat add the fish oil and the basil leaves. The residual heat should be enough to cook the basil. 

The end result was very tasty. I will have to give this a try next time I'm out and see how it compares.
