    Thai Chicken With Basil, An abundance of whole basil leaves joins chicken and fiery red chiles for a quick, delicious, and decidedly spicy stir-fry Holy basil is the most authentic choice, but any variety will do (From Food and Wine ), I made this last evening and couldn’t have been more pleased with it Made for Culinary Quest 2016 and it was perfect for using the last of my fresh Thai basil Utterly delicious and not difficult to make really bring it in as a real winner You won’t be disappointed , This is really good, the chicken comes out perfectly; and the amounts of onion, garlic and basil are perfect in proportion to the chicken My only complaint is that the flavor profile needs some acid to really bring it into balance A good squeeze of lime juice really brings this up to the five star level Made for ZWT9
