Thai Basil Chicken

Thai food is one of my FAVOURITE things to make. Earlier this year I started making a red curry and my obsession with Thai food was well on its way.

There’s something intriguing about chicken mixed with chilli and garlic and delicately flavoured with the liquorice flavor of Thai basil.

This recipe is super, super easy to make, grab your ingredients and let’s get started!
