The combination of basil and chilli in Thai cooking is one of the best flavour combinations! You may have seen my "Thai Basil Pork" recipe, which uses lean pork mince. This recipe is a slight variation on that which celebrates similar fresh flavours but ends up tasting like a completely different dish! This recipe uses tender chicken breast and it has sriracha and brown sugar in the sauce, giving the dish a bit of sweetness as well as the a fiery kick!


This dish only takes around 15 mins to cook, so it is perfect if you want a healthy, midweek dinner but are pushed for time.


This is a perfect recipe for a busy weeknight and or if you're craving a takeaway but want a healthier alternative.

Tips
  • This dish is great served with rice or noodles. As it cooks very quickly, if you're serving with rice be sure to start cooking the rice before you start. if serving with noodles, you could start the noodles as soon as the chicken is cooked.
