Basil Chicken in Green Chili Paste

 I just love Basil leaves flavour and enjoying my overgrown basil leaves from the backyard.... so today I created another dish with basil leaves.... it was awesome despite the plain look! The dish is full of rich flavour... the sweetness of the chicken is further enhanced by the basil and lemongrass fragrant.

Di harap anda semua tak jemu pula ya... kalau sesiapa yg belum pernah memasak lauk dgn daun selasih ni, harus lah mencuba nya tau.... Lauk ni sedap amat pada selera Along di kala tekak tak lalu nak makan lauk2 yg berlemak. Anak2 semua pun cakap sedap. Kemanisan ayam amat terasa bila masak simple2 macam ni di tambah pula dgn aroma daun selasih & serai.
