Thai Basil Chicken
My version of this classic Thai dish is extremely easy to make and loaded with flavor. Thai Basil Chicken is cooked over high heat so the sauce caramelizes and perfectly coats the ground chicken and green beans. The dish is finished with finely chopped Thai basil to give it that authentic Thai flavor.
