When you are surrounded by peppers and home grown Thai basil, then why not make some Thai Basil Chicken with Rice.

I love to experiment with dishes from around the world and Thai flavor is one that I would love to master. A dream of mine is to visit Thailand and become educated with their cuisine and flavors.
