How to Make Amazing Basil Chicken Low Fat
- Lightly oil a large (12-inch) frying pan and set over medium heat.
- Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cook until light golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice 1/2 medium red onion.
- Once chicken is golden, scatter the sliced red onion around the chicken in the pan.
- Pour in 1/2 cup fresh orange juice.
- Sprinkle with 1 tbsp dried basil, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 1/2 tsp salt.
- Using a wooden spoon, scrape up and stir in any browned bits from the pan bottom.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cover and simmer, turning chicken halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and springy when pressed (approximately 6-8 minutes). Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the chicken.
- Remove chicken from the pan and place on dinner plates.
- Increase heat to high.
- Boil the pan juices, stirring often, until slightly thickened (about 2 minutes). Stir in 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves.
- Drizzle the thickened sauce over the chicken.
- Serve immediately with cooked jasmine rice and slices of fresh mango.
