Step one

Heat oil in wok or large skillet set over medium-high heat; cook chicken, garlic chili paste and garlic for 5 to 8 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
Step two

Stir in green beans and sliced onion; cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes or until green beans are slightly softened. Add VH® Teriyaki Stir-Fry Sauce and 1/4 cup (60 mL) Thai basil; bring to boil. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until green beans are just tender. Assemble in lettuce leaves with remaining basil.

Tips

• Substitute regular Italian basil for Thai basil if desired.

• Alternatively, serve stir-fry over jasmine rice or rice noodles. Serve any leftovers on a salad for a quick grab-and-go lunch.
