Chilli Chicken With Basil Coconut Cream - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tablespoons peanut oil
    4 (800 -900 g) chicken breasts, sliced thickly
    1 onion, finely chopped
    2 garlic cloves, crushed
    3 Thai red chili peppers, finely chopped (I add about half the seeds to chicken mixture my family does not like spicy food although I do, This)
    1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce (sounds like a lot I know, I usually use only 1-2Teaspoons in most recipes but trust me this works he)
    1/2 teaspoon chili powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
    300 ml coconut cream (I use kara brand I really like this one as it is way more creamier than other brands.)
    100 ml coconut milk (this is only extra if serving over jasmine rice. I don't think there will be enough liquid with just)
    1 cup fresh basil, finely shredded
    1 tablespoon fresh coriander, finely chopped
Preparation
    Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan, add onion, chilli and garlic, cook until onion is soft.
    Add chicken to pan stir-fry until cooked though. Add sauce, cream, chilli powder, sugar (and milk if serving over rice.) A wok gets hotter than a frying pan, you may want to cover and cook a couple of minutes if using a frying pan to make sure chicken is cooked through.
    Add basil and coriander toss until hot, serve immediately.
    To serve: Serve over jasmine rice garnish with coriander leaf.
