How to Make Stir Fried Chicken With Lemon Capers And Basil
- Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat.
- Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Remove from the wok and set aside.
- Reheat the wok. Add 1 teaspoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir-fry 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces, in two batches for 3-5 minutes per batch, or until browned. Add another 1 teaspoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter between batches.
- Return all the chicken to the wok along with the cooked onion.
- Stir in the zest of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons of capers, and the juice of 1 lemon.
- Toss well and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through and the sauce slightly thickens.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of fresh basil leaves. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately over rice or pasta.
