Thai Curry Grilled Chicken Recipe

I think I finally nailed it. There are not very many recipes I need to make twice. I usually can fix it in the process of cooking so I don’t have to remake it. But this recipe didn’t quite turn out the way I envisioned it.

The flavor profile was there, but not as strong as I wanted. So back to the drawing board it was.

I’m all about Thai flavors lately, if you couldn’t tell by the Thai Quinoa Salad, Thai Chicken Grain Bowl with Peanut Sauce and Thai Mango Avocado Salad I’ve posted lately! And especially obsessed with Curry … I think the recipe that started my love for curry is the Thai Chicken Noodle Soup.

If you guys haven’t tried that recipe yet you need to. I made it non stop this fall/winter, it was absolutely so comforting and has the greatest depths of flavor for only cooking 30 minutes! Try it!

Then once you try that make sure you put this Grilled Chicken on your list. It has all of the same great ingredients.

How to Make The Best Curry Chicken

You’ll need Fresh Ginger, Garlic, Red Curry Paste, Lime Juice and creamy Coconut Milk.

Marinading the chicken overnight really lets all those flavors soak into the chicken. The acid from the lime juice breaks the chicken down a bit and the coconut milk soaks in and really keeps them moist. The end product is absolutely phenomenal!

I’d recommend serving this recipe with either my Crunch Thai Quinoa Salad or Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad for a light fresh dinner! It would be great for a weeknight meal or a summer party!

I can’t wait to hear what you guys think of this one!

Bon Appetit!
