This Thai Chili Chicken recipe is so easy to make and only take 15 minutes to make! When the weather is scorching hot, I like to make myself some mint and lemon tea. I went to the farmers market last week and got a whole bunch of fresh mint.

There were so much mint that I couldn’t use up, so I decided to make this Thai Chili Chicken using the leftover mint leaves, a recipe that I adapted from my favorite Thai cookbook “Thai Cooking Made Easy.”
