recipe to go with "feathers and bricks"

you KNOW that i have to have a recipe with every posting, a remnant of the "snail mail" that i used to exchange with my mother (back when i did "snail mail"...back when i was corresponding with my mother...). so, without further ado..... CHICKEN BASIL from "Chicken Dinners in ONE POT">>>>>>> SPICY CHICKEN WITH SWEET BASIL (i thought that this would be super-appropriate to go with "feathers"...and it's what we are having tomorrow for the "Olga-fest")>>>>>>>3 s/b chicken breasts, ~1#, chunked>>>>>>>(2T olive/peanut oil--- which i leave out)>>>>>>>1t minced garlic>>>>>>>1t crushed red pepper flakes>>>>>>>1 zucchini, chunked (i added this)>>>>>>2T soy sauce>>>>>>>2T Thai fish sauce(yes!!! you need this...no, you cannot leave it out!!)>>>>>>>1t sugar>>>>>>>1C small, fresh basil leaves (no, you cannot use dried.......)>>>>>>>2 green onion, sliced>>>>>>>saue onion, garlic and red pepper flakes to hot and beginning to soften>>>>>>>add chicken and zucchini and saute until chicken is white but not yet completely cooked (3-5 minutes), add rest and saute until chicken is done and basil is wilted>>>>>>>squeeze a bit of lime/lemon juice over ( if you have it!)>>>>>>>serve over fluffy rice (which i always have in the fridge)>>>>>>>fluffy salad and/or sliced pineapple is a good side dish here
