Grilled Thai Red Curry Chicken image

I LOVE Thai Curry, but I didn't like the idea of simmering chicken in coconut milk for an hour and serving it all together...too many calories! This way you marinate to get the flavor and then cook the sauce separately to serve on the side (or not have any at all) Topping with lime slices and basil, also infuses extra flavor without adding calories. This isn't really a low-cal dish, just a LOWER calorie dish than the original. If you cannot find red curry paste look for asian chili paste and add equal amounts of that and powdered curry...it's not quite the same, but it'll do. (prep time does not include time to marinate)

I've made this dish several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually serve it over jasmine rice, but it would also be great with noodles or quinoa.

This dish was easy to make and very delicious. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the sauce. I also added some chopped bamboo shoots and water chestnuts for extra crunch.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this dish was surprisingly mild. The coconut milk really helped to tame the heat of the curry paste. I also loved the addition of the pineapple, which added a nice sweetness and acidity to the dish.
