GRILLED HERB-MARINATED CHICKEN BREASTS
The key to moist grilled chicken is leaving the skin on during cooking. Some people are reluctant to do this because they think it will increase the fat calories in the finished dish. But the fact of the matter is that, if you remove the skin before eating the chicken, you'll reap the best of both worlds: juicy chicken without significantly more fat than if you'd removed the skin before grilling. Cooking time does not enclude 6 hours marinading time.

GRILLED THAI CHICKEN BREASTS WITH HERB-LEMONGRASS CRUST
Before chopping the lemongrass, be sure to cut off the spiky green top and enough of the bottom to eliminate the woody core. Peel off a few of the outer layers until you're left with just the tender heart of the stalk. Though these breasts are great served hot off the grill, they're also fine served cold in the coming days, either plain or sliced atop a salad. From Fine Cooking. Marinate time not included.

Steps:
- Combine 1-1/4 cups of the cilantro with the coconut milk, lemongrass, basil, chiles, garlic, salt, brown sugar, pepper, and coriander in a food processor or blender and purée until smooth.
- Arrange the chicken breasts in a nonreactive baking dish or other container large enough to accommodate them in a snug single layer. Pour the marinade over the breasts and turn to coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
- Heat a gas grill to medium high or prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire. Grill the chicken (covered on a gas grill) until it has good grill marks on the first side, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the chicken (covering the grill) and continue to cook until firm to the touch and completely cooked through (check by making a slice into one of the thicker breasts), 5 to 6 more minutes.
- Transfer to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro and serve with the lime wedges.

Tips:
- To ensure the chicken breasts are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing them from the grill.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken breasts in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Just be sure to preheat the pan before adding the chicken.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of chili paste to taste. If you like your food spicy, add more paste. If you're not a fan of heat, use less.
- Be sure to serve the chicken breasts with the dipping sauce. The sauce adds a delicious flavor to the chicken and helps to balance out the heat from the chili paste.

Grilled chicken breasts are a healthy and delicious meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. When marinated in a flavorful sauce and grilled to perfection, chicken breasts are juicy and tender. The Thai-style marinade used in this recipe gives the chicken a unique and exotic flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table.
