I bought a bunch of organic basil to cook with this week and had fun creating different meals with one main ingredient. I would have my own basil plant but I kill every plant..and I mean every single one :)
The first thing I made today was a baked basil chicken burger on top of a basil/chicken brown jasmine rice. We do not like chunks of onion so we always use onion powder but feel free to use fresh onion.
The rice was super easy and full of a lot of flavor.

mix all the ingredients together and refrigerate for about 20-30 mins so that they flavors absorb together.
