This meal is also perfect for people with high blood pressure, heart problems, other health conditions and controlled portions can help us lose some of that weight that keeps boomeranging back. If going the healthy route, Thai Basil Chicken is also well partnered with brown rice.
Fresh grown Thai Basil is an easy addition to your garden and can be enjoyed with a wide range of home cooked meals. I love my fresh Thai Basil with pizza, noodles, salads, rice and soups. One of my favorite things to do is add a hand full of the leaves to my homemade chicken broth and watch my family gravitate to the kitchen and start asking “when will it be ready mom?” Cooking with wonderfully aromatic items like Thai Basil will create those childhood memories while establishing a bond for the family that will survive and who knows, it may even carry to the next generation. This particular dish has a heavenly aroma during cooking and before the first bite. Treat your family to time well spent with this quick and easy dish.
