The crockpot is so underrated. Every time I bust it out I think why am I not using this appliance more often! It always cooks meat perfectly! This Thai Basil Chicken was a snap to make and we had leftovers for days! Such an easy weeknight meal. The chicken had really nice flavor and was so tender. The kids and Evans served theirs over rice and I had mine over lettuce. Equally good both ways! Shred the meat and it saves well in the fridge for several days. Enjoy!
