About Stir-fried chicken with basil

Stir-Fried Chicken with Basil is a flavorful Thai-inspired dish featuring tender chicken, aromatic garlic, spicy chilies, and the fresh, peppery kick of basil leaves. Often served over jasmine rice, it strikes a perfect balance between savory and slightly sweet, accented by a soy-based sauce and touch of palm sugar. Packed with lean protein from the chicken, this dish also offers antioxidants from fresh basil and garlic. Chilies provide a metabolism-boosting spiciness, while the use of minimal oil in cooking helps keep the fat content lower than deep-fried alternatives. However, the sodium level in the soy sauce should be considered, making reduced-sodium options an ideal choice for a healthier version. Simple yet vibrant, this dish reflects the bold essence of Thai street food while catering to those looking for a quick, nutrient-rich meal.
