Healthy Thai Rice

This Thai rice recipe is made from delicious combination of chicken, vegetables and thai basil. The addition of green chillies adds a hot and sharp flavour to the dish. Instead of using peanut oil for this recipe, a healthy swap has been made with olive oil, and lower GI basmati rice has been used instead of jasmine rice, making it suitable for use as a weight watchers recipe.
