Basil is a versatile and widely used aromatic herb. Basil is an annual plant that is easy to grow from seed but is very sensitive to cold. The plant grows well in warm climates and is widely used throughout southern Europe, particularly the Mediterranean, and in many parts of Asia. There are numerous species of basil; some have scents reminiscent of pineapple, lemon, cinnamon or cloves; others have beautiful purple leaves. The variety called holy basil (tulsi) is an essential part of an authentic Thai curry. In Mediterranean regions, basil and tomato is a classic combination. Pesto, made from basil leaves and pine nuts, with parmesan or pecorino cheese and olive oil (traditionally pounded together in a mortar and pestle – the latter lends pesto its name) is another classic dish.

I need to make this. I have some leftover chicken in the freezer that would be perfect for this recipe. Thank you SO much!
I like everything about this dish except I'd have to skip the tuna ... I'm not fond of fish, even though it's good for you xox ♡
So good! And I love the smell of basil. I always grow some in my garden.

Looks like a good option for a warmer day, the sun is out here already.
A nice glass of wine would be a great accompaniment.
