Ingredients
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 3 tbsp tamari
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp oil
- 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cubed
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, tamari, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar. Set it aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Add the bell pepper and green beans. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the shallot, garlic, ginger, and chili.

Stir in the basil.
