Here is one that is inspired by a Rachael Ray recipe. I can't take credit for it... but as always I did toy with amounts and use ingredients that were available in my kitchen. I thought it came out pretty good. I think that I might reduce the amount of soy sauce I use next time and use sugar instead of honey. I usally love honey... but I think that it's strong flavor detracted a bit from the overall dish.
3 large chicken breasts, cut into strips
vegetable oil
salt and pepper, to taste
1 T. minced fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic
red bell pepper
large handful of basil leaves (15-20 leaves)
crushed red pepper, to taste
one bunch scallions, sliced
soy sauce
honey
Heat oil in pan until it nice and hot. Saute the chicken in the vegetable oil until it is cooked through.
Add bell pepper, garlic, and ginger to the mix and cook for a few minutes. 
Add the scallions, soy and honey... I just added the soy until it looked right, and then I put about a tablespoon of honey in the mix. 
Here it is all plated up with rice, edamame and an eggroll.
The meal ended with some Kung Fu Panda inspired sparing over the last edamame. Cheers,
Jenn

ReplyDeleteI've come across a bunch of thai basil chicken recipes and I still haven't made one myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm debating whether to wait until the fall when my basil is ready (some recipes call for an enormous amount - very expensive) or just suck it up and pay for the basil.
@Dan-I'm lucky to pretty much have basil here year around. I just pick leaves off as I need them. I really want to start growing some indoors as well so I'll have some even in the coldest winter months.
