Need a quick recipe for chicken, this is one of my staples for chicken I have been making for years and it really doesn’t need a lot of ingredients, the most important is to have fresh basil.
When I go to the Asian market I always stock up on Thai red curry paste, and coconut milk.
The green curry paste is great paired with vegetables if you are vegetarian especially delicious with eggplants. I also buy my basil at the Asian markets I find it is fresher and you get more for your buck.
