About Thai basil chicken

Thai Basil Chicken, or Pad Kra Pao Gai, is a popular dish originating from Thai cuisine. This flavorful stir-fry combines tender pieces of chicken with garlic, onions, and red chilies, all cooked in a savory marinade of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce. Fresh Thai basil leaves are the key ingredient, imparting a fragrant and slightly peppery taste. Typically served over steamed jasmine rice, it’s a balanced meal rich in lean protein from the chicken and essential vitamins from the herbs and vegetables. The dish provides a good source of antioxidants from the garlic and basil, but it can be high in sodium due to the sauces and seasonings used. Opting for reduced-sodium alternatives and leaner cuts of chicken can make this delicious dish an even healthier option.
