Thai Chicken with Basil and Pineapple

I've said it many times before, but I love stir frys. Of pretty much any flavor and protein. They're just so tasty! This had a lot of flavor to it and will definitely be added to my list of stir frys! I only used a small serrano pepper and it added just enough kick to not make it too spicy for me! Serve with some rice and egg rolls and you have yourself a meal!
