Marinated Chicken Breast With Coconut Curry Sauce image

This is different from any other curry I've made in that the chicken is first marinated, and not cooked in the curry sauce itself. The contrasting yet complementary flavors of the marinade and sauce make for an unusual and attractive dish. This pairs especially well with the "Cardamon and Fennel Flavored Rice" recipe which I've posted as well. Preparation time includes 2 hour marinating time. Do not marinate this overnight as the lemon juice will break the fibers of the chicken down too much.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the sauce and it was much better.

I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts and it worked great. The chicken was even more juicy and flavorful.
