Recipe: Stir fried chicken in WORLDFOODS Thai Basil Chilli "Pad Ki Mao" sauce with crispy basil leaves

One day, a friend asked me what cuisine / dishes are easiest to cook in the kitchen. In my opinion, for everyday meals stir fry dishes are definitely one of the quickest and easiest dishes to whip up, not to mention nutritious and delicious.

Stir fried chicken in WORLDFOODS Thai basil chilli "Pad Ki Mao" sauce

For example, this stir fried chicken dish which I cooked using the WORLDFOODS Thai basil chilli "Pad Ki Mao" sauce took me a mere 20 minutes to prepare and cook. What I really like about this dish are the crispy basil leaves which I topped on the dish. Thai basil has a nice lovely fragrance and when you shallow fry it in some oil, it crisps up nicely.

The WORLDFOODS sauce is made from a mixture of spicy chillies and Thai herbs and spices and the spiciness level is quite mild. Hence, our kids also enjoyed eating this chicken dish a lot. The red pepper adds a subtle sweetness to the dish, when eaten together with the chicken.
