My dad loved spicy food, my mom didn't so it was always a treat for him when we would eat out where he could order something spicy. But I remember we would always laugh when my dad would eat something spicy because his eyes would get all watery and his face turn red and he would say "It clears the sinuses"!!
So when my guy said he wanted to make me something with chicken and started listing some of his ideas, I stopped him immediately on Thai Basil Chicken and asked him if it was going to be hot.
He smiled because he knows me, knows what I was thinking and says "It could be. How hot do you want it?"
"Hot enough to clear my sinuses!" Since you gave me this head cold! (I didn't say this last part but I thought it and I knew he already felt bad enough.)
He made this dish with ground chicken breast instead of diced pieces of breast meat (which turns out I actually prefer) because he thought it might be easier on my tender throat. He said he made it with only a single Thai red chile to make it have a little kick but not too much. All I know is this dinner Cleared My Sinuses and was an incredible taste with fresh picked basil from his winter garden. I give it my A++ rating!
