Thai Chicken Basil with Chilli
If there is ever a Friday night when you just don't want to cook (when take away is the usual solution), try this dish in lieu of your usual fix. Tenina Holder from Cooking with Tenina has shared this easy recipe with us to complete the Thai feast. We love it and we know you will too. If you aren't a chilli lover, you can omit the chilli for a mild and yet incredibly flavoursome dish.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "A brilliant alternative to a shop bought Friday night take away... cheaper and just as flavoursome! Loved the taste and looked authentic." - Katie
