Thai Basil Sesame Cashew Chicken Chicken

It's a good recipe, though I made the horrible mistake of using regular soy sauce instead of low-sodium soy sauce, and it was much, much too salty as a result. Don't repeat my mistake, go get some low-sodium soy like the recipe calls for! Aside from that, super flavorful. I put it in the slow cooker for a few hours rather than cooking all together on the stove, which made for some very tender chicken and delicious, well-blended flavor. I'm sure it will be similarly good done all on the stovetop, but do give the slow cooker route a try, it's another good option.

Its quite salty even though I used reduced salt soy sauce

I understand adding the ketchup, would like to try again using gochujong (spelling?).

I did spagettini instead of rice Chicken breast instead of thighs No chili paste And half a cup of honey in the sauce instead of 1/4 cup Tube Basil at the end

Love this receipe! I use chicken mince, absolutely delicious with coconut rice

I would half the honey and half to 2/3rd the soy sauce

Delicious and not too hard to make.

I used normal basil. I put a veg stock gel in the rice, partially cooked it for around 12 mins then left to finish under foil.

Best Thai chicken ever!! Absolutely delicious! Husband had 3 servings lol I substituted 1-2 tablespoons of chili paste with chili flakes, as I prefer a milder flavor. Feel free to use the original amount if you like a little more heat!

Cashews are delicious! Added fennel diced and carrots which compensated for using normal rather than Thai basil. Stir fried on high and cooked chicken first, not cornstarched etc. Just in the oil from cashews. Used less soy sauce and brown sugar instead of honey. Added lime juice to the sauce.

Prep took forever. I wish I had done that bit sooner. The meal was very good, though.

Delicious! Added cumin, cayenne, onion powder, and garlic for the chicken seasoning. Cooked chicken with lime juice. Also added water as necessary while cooking chicken as to prevent it from drying out. Aside from that, followed instructions as listed, and was a great turn out!

Easy tasty recipe

I made this dish with less soysauce and less honey.

Omg, best dish ever!!! The flavors came out amazing!!! Wow!!

amazing flavor

I tried throwing a cashew away but it always comes back around

Great quick recipe. Added plain cashews to finished meal instead of making chili line cashews and it was still delicious

This took over an hour and I made the mistake of using regular soy sauce. Unfortunately it so salty we couldn't eat it. We even tried washing off the sauce but it could not be saved.

I substituted a lot with this recipe and I didn’t have anything to substitute chili paste. Didn’t matter, it was delicious and this is an excellent recipe.

I think this was way too salty even with all the rice, so I'll probably half the soy sauce next time

This is absolutely delicious. A complex flavor profile, with a bit of heat, crunch, it has it all. Prep does take longer than the recipe says, but it’s worth it! If you can find Thai Basil, definitely use that over regular basil. It has a scent of licorice, but that licorice flavor isn’t overpowering in taste, it really adds to the symphony of flavor.

Seriously one of my favorite recipes I've cooked to date, I will 100% be cooking this again. It had so much flavor, the recipe calls for lots of soy sauce so make sure you have low sodium soy on hand.

This is absolutely wonderful 😊 simple to make and incredibly tasty! Didn't have spicy basil, but still lovely :)

I did not make the cashews - but it was fine without it. added bok choy since I had some to use up and it was delicious. fed 4 adults with no leftovers. made some Trader Joe's chicken fried rice and dinner was done in like 15 min tops. great weeknight recipe.

I made a quick pickle with cucumbers and radish to add to this, as well as some scallions on top. Delicious!
