GRILLED CHICKEN WITH CURRY-SOY SAUCE



Grilled Chicken with Curry-Soy Sauce image

This recipe is great for curry lovers or people who want to give a little bit of curry a try. You can easily just grill the chicken and not bother with cooking the marinade into a sauce. Delicious both ways! I served this with saffron rice. The sauce is delicious over the rice as well!

Provided by Sarah

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Curries     Chicken

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

⅓ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons curry powder
6 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 ¼ cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Stir soy sauce, garlic, ginger, lime juice, and curry powder together in a glass container. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove the chicken from the marinade and pour marinade into a small saucepan; set aside.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 4 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • While chicken is cooking, stir cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until well combined. Add to the reserved marinade, then mix in chicken broth. Bring sauce to a boil and cook until sauce has thickened a bit, 10 to 14 minutes. Serve curry-soy sauce over the chicken.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a combination of yogurt, lemon juice, and spices to marinate the chicken. This will help to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
  • Be sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
  • When grilling the chicken, be sure to cook it over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • To make the curry cucumber sauce, be sure to use fresh cucumbers. This will give the sauce a crisp and refreshing flavor.
  • If you don't have any curry powder, you can substitute a mixture of cumin, coriander, and turmeric.
  • Serve the chicken with the curry cucumber sauce, basmati rice, and naan bread.

Conclusion:

This spicy tandoori grilled chicken with curry cucumber sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is creamy and refreshing. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
