This is easy to make and delicious! My husband, who doesn't even like spinach, yummed this up too. I loved it as-is. My husband would have liked more of a sauce to pour over the rice. He used a bottled Thai sauce as an immediate fix. Would love anyone's suggestions of a great, easy sauce to make to pair with this!
I have made this a couple times really good recipe. only thing I did different is I used velvet chicken. I love this recipe
We really enjoyed this dish. I read other reviews before I started cooking and I made little changes to make more sauce. Marinade was made of 3Tbl spoons soy sauce 2Tbl spoons water and 1Tbl spoon sugar. I drained chicken and saved marinade before I fried it in 2Tbl spoons of oil. I poured marinade back to fully cooked chicken just before I added spinach. I think any other sauce would ruin the unique flavor of this very good recipe.
I have actually made this recipe on several occasions and I see a fair number of people that said the chicken was a little bland; however, I have found a way to spice the chicken up a little.
I bypassed the marinade all together and spiced the chicken with curry, pepper, and cooked the chicken in a Thai Curry paste, Soy Sauce, and sesame oil instead of olive oil.
I used about a teaspoon of Thai Curry paste and unless one likes their chicken really spicy, that is all I would add.
I used only a tablespoon of sesame oil because if much more is used it will have an overpowering sesame flavor.
Thirdly, I added a tablespoon of Soy Sauce.
Heat the sesame oil, Soy sauce, and Thai curry paste in the pan before any chicken is added as to dilute the curry paste.
Excellent! I doubled the recipe. Marinated the chicken while I prepped the veggies and basil. Used my wok, perfect for stir-frying. Cooking order: garlic, then chicken and marinade, then veggies. Next, spinach, then basil, without removing from pan.
This was really yummy! I echo the review of another view who would have like to have more sauce but I also served it over sticky rice and it was delectable! Love love love all the basil. I didn't have enough spinach on hand as the recipe called for but it was fine the way it was.
Yummy dish.. the basil really gives it a nice and different flavor from most stir fries. Will add some red pepper flakes to leftovers tonight
While we enjoyed the spinach/basil combo the chicken was bland & boring. We'll make this again but use a different marinade for the chicken.
