Whenever I go to a Thai Restaurant my favorite dish to order is Thai Basil Chicken. I always assumed this dish was so complex in it's flavors that I would never be able to make it at home. Well, the days of going out to get this dish are finished. I discovered the secret and it's so incredibly easy that I can make this dish anytime I have the craving for something absolutely Thai delicious! This dish is what a call a "win, win, win". I win because I get the flavors I love in my favorite dish. My wallet wins because I can make it at home and save money. My waistline wins because I know what I put into it and control the fat. So don't waste your gas if you're craving Thai or put down that take out menu... try this dish and you'll never look back. :)
