Ingredients

  • - Chicken breasts: 2 pieces approximately 500g in total
  • - Ginger: 2 inches 50mm, finely chopped
  • - Garlic cloves: 3 minced
  • - Red chili: 1 deseeded and chopped
  • - Lime: 1 zested and juiced
  • - Soy sauce: 3 tablespoons 45ml
  • - Olive oil: 2 tablespoons 30ml
  • - Cilantro Coriander: a handful, finely chopped
  • - Ground pepper: ½ teaspoon 2.5g
  • - Salt: to taste

Instructions

Let's Get Cooking!

  • Start by marinating the chicken. In a large mixing bowl, combine ginger, garlic, chopped red chili, lime zest, lime juice, soy sauce, and half the olive oil. Give it a good mix.
  • Lay the chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they're well coated on both sides. Allow them to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
  • After marinating, heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chicken breasts into the pan.
  • Cook the **Thai Spiced Chicken** for approximately 10 minutes on each side or until they're golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with cilantro, ground pepper, and salt before serving.

Notes

1. For the best flavor, marinate the chicken for a longer duration. Overnight in the refrigerator is ideal.
2. Use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken is cooked to the correct internal temperature.
3. If you're looking for an extra kick, feel free to adjust the amount of red chili!
  • Pair your Thai Spiced Chicken with jasmine rice and a side of fresh, crisp veggies.
  • Drizzle any leftover marinade (that hasn’t touched the raw chicken) over the chicken for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Complement the dish with a cold Thai iced tea or a refreshing cucumber salad.
  • Feel the warmth? Cut through the spiciness with a spoonful of creamy coconut milk-based curry.
