Basil Chicken, or Thai-style chicken, can be easily prepared at home. Fresh basil leaves are the key ingredient, giving the dish its aroma and lifting appetite instantly. Between chicken pieces and minced chicken, the latter is the better choice, as it reduces cooking time significantly. Still, whether using chicken pieces or minced chicken, cook only until fully done and the texture reaches the desired tenderness (THAI EGG CURRY).
This Basil Chicken recipe is simple and pantry-friendly. Ingredients are minimal and can be adjusted according to taste. For a milder, kid-friendly version, omit the chilies. The result is a flavorful, mouthwatering Basil Chicken, ideal for rice, sandwich filling, or as a small appetizer or starter.
