This Spicy Basil Chicken tastes amazing and is ready in less than 20 minutes! Perfect as a main dish or on top of a salad!
I don’t think I need to tell you how delicious this chicken is.
Just take a look at the picture.
All the fresh basil, the juicy goodness, and the simplicity of the entire dish in one single skillet. Amazing I tell you. And this really is SO easy to make!
Since I’ve been sick for the past two weeks, this was the perfect dinner to throw together during the week that was healthy and yielded plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. I served this over brown rice and the sauce alone tastes perfect with it! Oh and if you absolutely hate fish sauce {like my boyfriend}, don’t worry. You can leave that out and this will still taste great. Although I guarantee if you secretly throw it in, no one will even notice.
I tend to be sneaky like that, shh just don’t tell Chris.

It’s listed Brandon, just hiding! 🙂 This recipe calls for 3 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced…hope you enjoy it!
I must be blind lol. Made it last night and it was amazing. Only used 2 chicken breasts but kept evrething else the same. Sauce worked perfectly. Will make again.
The recipe calls for frying garlic but it’s missing from the ingredient list. How much garlic should I use?
The flavours sound delicious and looks really healthy and easy to make..can’t wait to try!
This looks excellent, Kelly! I love revamping take-out meals like this to make at home. So much healthier than ordering out.
I love this dish. This looks like a great recipe and I am saving it for later this week.
Mmm, this looks really tasty. I usually order this for take-out, but I love that I can make it at home. Thanks for sharing.
This is soooo yummy! 🙂
