I used Thai basil instead of regular basil, and it was 🔥🔥🔥. The chicken turned out super tender too. Great low-carb meal!

So quick and easy. I added a splash of lime juice at the end for brightness. Amazing protein boost without feeling heavy.

Easy and packed with flavor. Great use of herbs, and the peanuts give a nice crunch. Perfect with cauliflower rice!
