Anweisungen

In a large deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken in a single layer, don’t overcrowd the pan. If you need to cook it in two batches, that is fine. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the chicken pieces are cooked through. Transfer cooked chicken, with juices, to a plate. Set aside.

Add the onion and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Add the coconut milk, broth, lime zest, lime juice, and crushed red pepper flakes. Reduce the heat to medium and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes.

Add the chicken back to the pan. Stir in the cilantro and basil. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if necessary.

Serve warm with rice and lime wedges.
