This simple Thai dish known as Pad Grapow is insanely quick and inexpensive to make. It’s light, yet flavorful with lots of heat and tons of basil. We found some dishes in one of many cook books that can easily be made light. This simple chicken dish is a great example, we slightly modified it to make it lighter, and plan on adding some vegetables to the mix to make the portion a little more substantial the next time we make it.
