2tspfish sauce
2tspsugar
¼cupshallotssliced

2Thai chilies (or other chilies)finely chopped

Instructions
Make the sauce by mixing together the chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar. Set aside.
Heat large skillet over high heat and then add the oil. Add the chicken and mix continuously for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it loses the 'raw' color.
Add the shallots along with the garlic and chilies. Continue cooking on high heat until some of the juices start to caramelize at the bottom of the pan, about 2 or 3 minutes.
Add the sauce mixture to the pan and keep stirring until sauce begins to caramelize and thicken so that it nicely coats the chicken (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the basil and stir, then immediately remove from the heat.
