Healthy Recipes | Thai Basil Chicken (Easy Gai Pad Krapow)

thai   September 09, 2019

There are a select few really good meals in this world that take just 10 minutes to prepare from start to finish. This Thai Basil Chicken (Gai Pad Krapow) is one of them.

And it isn’t one of those rush jobs either. This isn’t an episode of 30 Minute Meals, where Rachel Ray comes up with an ambitious 3-part menu and screeches into the finish line at the end, unceremoniously dumping all of her dishes into serving bowls and delivering her end-of-show sign-off with a sense of tired relief.

15 Minute Thai Basil Chicken. When it comes to Thai recipes, this stir fry is one of the most popular and easiest to make. It’s flavorful, fast, and is going to become one of your favorite quick dinners.

I was the same way in college, as a novice cook who really didn’t know my way around a kitchen, nor have the money to buy tons of ingredients for every meal, nor the time to spend hours cooking and then cleaning every day when there were classes, studying, meetings, and social events to attend to. Sometimes I made pasta. Sometimes I had grilled chicken with one of those prepackaged side dishes. But most of the time, I simply walked up the stairs and rounded up my housemates for a quick drive to a hole-in-the-wall Thai restaurant. Every one of us would order Thai Basil Chicken (AKA Pad Krapow Gai) and eat our entire plates with no leftovers (and with several refills of jasmine rice).
