Thai Chicken with Basil

I absolutely love Thai food!  It is one of my favorite ethnic cuisines, but unfortunately its really not that healthy for you.  Every once in a while it is ok but it is not something that I can consistently be eating.  This recipe gives me those same great Thai flavors but only has 210 calories and 8 g of fat per serving.  If you love Thai food definitely try out this healthified version and if you are a little wary of Thai food this would be a good one to start out with!
