Chicken Stir-Fry with Basil
Serves 4
Time 25 min
A stir-fry is always a quick-and-easy dinner option, and chicken with vegetables is especially delicious when simply flavored with basil and dried orange zest. Jazz it up even more with a bit of mirin (rice cooking wine), if desired. Serve over Jasmine Brown Rice Pilaf for a satisfying meal.
