Thai Chicken and Jasmine Rice

Thai Chicken and Jasmine Rice is a simple Thai dish that packs so much flavour and aroma. You will no longer view it as a side dish but a main dish and food on the go.  I often whip up a large quantity of this when friends are popping round for a “drink”.  It also does not make much mess and easy for everyone to eat even standing up.
