Chicken and pumpkin stir-fry

from Donna Hay's Simple Essentials ~ Chicken

served with moulded rice with 1-egg-omelette filled with carrots/chives/ginger

2 tbsp peanut oil (I used olive oil)

2 onions, sliced

2 small red cilies (I used one large)

1/2 tsp cracked black pepper (I used ground black pepper)

4 x 200g (7oz) chicken breast fillets, sliced (I used one whole chicken thigh, skinned and boned)

600g (1 lb 5 oz) pumpkin, peeled and thinly sliced (I used 4 wedges of peeled pumpkin)

3 tbsp fish sauce

1/4 cup small basil leaves (Didn't find any on Sunday at the wet market - so used coliander)

Heat the oil in a preheated large non-stick frying pan or work over medium-high heat.  Add the onions, chillies and pepper and cook for 1 minute.  Add the chicken and cook for 3 minutes or until browned.  Add the pumpkin, and fish sauce, cover and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pumpkin is just soft.  Stir through the basil.  Serves 4
