Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, curry powder, lime zest and juice, honey, garlic, salt, coriander, white pepper, and the white parts of the sliced scallions. (5 minutes)

02

Step
4 hrs

Transfer the marinade to a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken cutlets, ensuring they are fully submerged in the marinade. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor infusion. (5 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Remove the chicken cutlets from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade. (2 minutes)

05

Step
8 mins

Place the marinated chicken cutlets on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), using an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken. (8 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Transfer the grilled chicken cutlets to a serving platter. Garnish with the reserved chopped green parts of the scallions and fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired, to add a final touch of freshness and visual appeal. (3 minutes)

For a more intense curry flavor, increase the amount of curry powder to your preference.
Marinating the chicken for the maximum recommended time (4 hours) will result in a more flavorful and tender final product.
Ensure the grill is properly preheated to achieve those beautiful grill marks and prevent the chicken from sticking.
Serve with a side of coconut rice and grilled vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.

    I accidentally marinated the chicken for 6 hours instead of 4, and it was still great! Very forgiving recipe.

    I added a little ginger to the marinade, and it was amazing!

    This recipe is a winner! The chicken was so moist and flavorful.

    The coconut milk made the chicken incredibly tender. So much better than grilling plain chicken breast.

    This is my new go-to chicken recipe. Thanks for sharing!

  • Alena Huel

    Next time, I'm going to try this with chicken thighs. I bet they would be even more flavorful.
