Thai Basil Chicken

If you like Asian meals that are a little spicy, this is a great dish to make. It is as easy to make as the Kung Pao Chicken. I didn't even find the recipes in the same cookbook. This recipe came from my boyfriend's mother in one of her recipe boxes. 


Here is the recipe all marked up by its original owner from The Herb Gourmet.

This recipe like the Kung Pao chicken you have to start the rice before you start cooking the meal, to have everything done at the same time. If you want to eat healthy the best rice to serve with this meal is brown rice. 

This meal is worth putting on any plate, with just a bit of pre-preparation.

Kung Pao Chicken Just Like Take Out

I recently entered the world of Chinese with the recent dinner I made of Kung Pao Chicken. You can't have Chinese food with broccoli, at least that is what you get with Chinese take out.

So I went to the Chicken breast cookbook. Here is the recipe.

Many of the Chinese recipes I found all required boneless chicken thighs. But I decided I wanted to use white meat. I also served brown rice as opposed to white rice. The one special ingredient I needed for this recipe was Chinese Red Pepper Sauce. It was worth every penny and I can look for recipes that use that ingredient.

In my pantry I have also added fish sauce and hoisin sauce. After all the healthiest Chinese takeout is the meal you prepare. If you like to cook, guaranteed this meal is definitely a treat.
