Why You’ll Love Basil Chicken
It is a delicious Thai dish with a spicy and sweet flavor. It is easy to make, and it’s perfect for a busy weeknight. With just 10 minutes of prep and 15 minutes of cooking time, you can get this dish on the table in no time.
This recipe uses fresh basil, which gives it a light, summery flavor. The chicken is stir-fried in a mixture of flavorful sauces. Then, you add the basil leaves during the last few minutes of cooking so that they’re wilted but not completely cooked down. This makes them extra tasty without overcooking them!
This recipe is a great option if you’re looking for something different than your average chicken dish—and it will be sure to please even picky eaters who don’t normally like basil!
