2: In a large pan, heat oil on medium heat. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink (about 4 minutes if small cubes). Add onion, garlic, ginger, chili pepper, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook until veggies tenderize a bit (~4 minutes).
3: Add in sauce and cook until it thickens a bit (3-5 minutes). Option to add 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water to help thicken.
4: Add in Thai basil and cook until wilted (2 minutes). Add peanuts and mix.
5: Serve over rice, as a lettuce wrap, or by itself. Enjoy!
