Mom gave me a basil plant since I mentioned that I was using a lot of it in many of my recipes. I was trying to use up my heavy whipping cream at the time, so I was making many Italian cream sauces. Now that I have used up the heavy whipping cream, I don't need as much basil. Since I still have the plant, I am now looking for recipes which will use it.
I searched for recipes with chicken and basil in them, and the picture in this Thai Chicken with Basil recipe looked good. I had all the ingredients, so I thought why not?
In general the dish was tasty, but it tasted like soy sauce chicken. This could have been due to the fact that I put a little too much soy sauce in it. I halved the recipe since I only had two boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of the four chicken breasts listed in the recipe. I ended up putting a whole tablespoon of soy sauce instead of 3/4 of a tablespoon of soy sauce. I don't think it should have made that much of a difference though, especially since it was in the marinade anyway.
