    Making dinners can be such a drag, am I right?  I love making at home take-out for extra fun flavor for the family.  My kids love international flavors and spices so these types of dishes are always a hit.  

    I can easily throw rice in the rice cooker or these rice noodles cook in only 2-3 minutes!  What a win that is on a busy weeknight.

    This Thai Basil Chicken with Rice Noodles is easily made with pantry staples.  The sauce has simple ingredients that are easily adaptable to your taste and dietary needs...

    Sauce

    • garlic
    • fish sauce
    • oyster sauce 
    • tamari or soy sauce (if not gluten free)
    • honey or sugar
    • Thai sweet chili sauce

    I love using ground chicken in dishes like this because each small piece of chicken gets smothered in the yummy sauce.  Sometimes the big pieces of chicken just aren't as appetizing or they get overcooked.

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoon sesame oil
    • 1 lb ground chicken
    • 3 cloves of garlic, diced
    • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
    • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
    • 4 tablespoon tamari (gluten free) or soy sauce

    • Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and break it up and stir as it cooks. Continue to cook a few minutes. Add the garlic and peppers and sauce.
    • Bring the sauce to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes or until the sauce gets thicker.
