Remove the chicken breasts from the bone and slice into thin strips. (Reserve the bones and the legs,
thighs,
and wings for Round 2 Recipe Coconut Chicken Soup.) In a large wok or skillet over high heat, add the
oil.
When the oil is hot, add the chicken and stir-fry until it is almost completely cooked through, 3 to 4

the
chile and garlic and cook 1 minute.

To a bowl, add 2 tablespoons water, sugar, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Stir and pour over the chicken and

onions and cook for another minute. Add the basil and remove from the heat once it has wilted. Add the
lime
juice into the chicken mixture and stir. Serve hot over rice.
