Grilled Chicken Breast Recipe, Coconut Curry
This is such an easy Grilled Chicken Breast Recipe! I just love the flavors of lime and Coconut together, so when I came across this recipe, I had to give it a try! Of course, I had to make a few tweaks and make it my own!
So now, I am totally dating myself here….. Remember the song from Harry Nilsson in 1971? Lime in the Coconut? 😂 😂 Sorry, my bad, now you won’t get the song out of your head all day!! 😂
I actaully made this for my Mom for Mother’s Day! She loved it! Served it with Jasmine rice and blanched asparagus! It was just a perfect combination! Oh, yes and as an added bonus, it is gluten & dairy free, so she could eat it!
The inspiration for this recipe came from Mel’s Kitchen. I did tweak this recipe from the original in a few areas. Firstly, I eliminated the soy sauce. It’s just a flavor that I think does not go with the rest of the ingredients. I increased the salt, because I eliminated the soy, added a bit more heat and turmeric!
As proof that we really liked this recipe, I made it again this week because I didn’t get pics on Mother’s Day! There is dedication for ya, my friends! You are quite welcome!! 🙂 Honestly, this job is really tough sometimes! 😂
So, I hope you enjoyed the post today for this Easy Grilled Chicken Breast Recipe with Lime Coconut Curry! If you love to grill, try these Smoked Ribs!
