Coconut Lime Grilled Chicken and Rice

Nguyên liệu

• juice and zest of 2-3 limes (about 1/4 cup)
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1/4 cup full fat coconut milk (solid / creamy stuff in a can for a creamier sauce)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemongrass paste (or fresh grated lemongrass, if you have access!)
• half a jalapeño pepper, ribs and seeds removed
• 1 clove garlic
• small bundle of fresh cilantro
• small bundle of fresh mint
• 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 1 1/2 cups rice, uncooked

Cách làm

1. 1

   Sauce: Pulse all sauce ingredients together in a food processor until smooth.

2. 2

   Chicken: Pour about half of the sauce over the chicken and allow to marinade for 30 minutes. (This 30 minute wait time is a good time to make some rice!)

3. 3

   Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Cook the chicken on both sides until browned and fully cooked, about 4 minutes per side. Allow to rest for a few minutes.

4. 4

   To finish: Serve grilled chicken with rice and vegetables, and drizzle with remaining sauce.
