Instructions
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, crushed red pepper flakes, curry powder, and garlic.Place chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over chicken, turning to coat evenly.Refrigerate and marinate for at least 4 hours, turning occasionally if possible.Preheat grill to medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade, reserving marinade.Grill chicken until cooked through, brushing occasionally with marinade.Pour remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened. Add a small amount of water if needed.Serve grilled chicken over rice and drizzle with thickened sauce. Add vegetables if desired.
Notes
- For a milder flavor, reduce or omit the crushed red pepper flakes.Chicken can be baked instead of grilled if preferred. Bake at 375°F until fully cooked, brushing with marinade halfway through.Always bring the reserved marinade to a full boil before using it as a sauce.This recipe works well for meal prep and reheats nicely over rice or vegetables.
