Thai-Inspired Chicken
Who doesn’t love a meal bursting with flavour, yet requires minimal effort?
Thai cuisine, with its vibrant mix of sweet, savoury, spicy and sour notes, is known for incredible flavours. Thai food has always been one of my favourite cuisines and I dare say I’ve eaten at Thai restaurants hundreds of times!
We do our best to replicate the complex flavours in our recipes, bringing a taste of Thailand to the table.
Chicken Breasts
We’re using chicken breasts in our Thai-inspired chicken dish, combining the versatility chicken breasts offer with the fragrant magic of Thai ingredients and a ton of fresh herbs!
The simple marinade packed with soy sauce, fresh herbs, green curry paste, garlic and ginger infuses the chicken with an irresistible sweet and savoury aroma.
This dish can also be made with bone in chicken or boneless chicken thighs. Adjust your cooking time as needed.
The final bite
Skip the take out and make this fantastic tasting chicken at home!
Serve the chicken with fresh carrots, cucumbers, jasmine rice or coconut rice (recipe below), rice or udon noodles, a cucumber salad, or even an avocado salad.
Garnish with cilantro, Thai basil, parsely and any of the leftover fresh herbs!

Ingredients
- 1/3 cup fresh basil chopped fine
- 1/3 cup fresh mint chopped fine
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro chopped fine
- 2 tbsp grated ginger
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp green curry paste
- 1/4 cup oil canola or olive
- dash of hot sauce
- 4-6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except chicken in sealable plastic bag or bowl with a lid. Squish it to mingle flavours and if needed add a splash of oil to loosen it up. The mixture should not be tight. Add chicken, squeezing to ensure marinade permeates chicken.
- Let stand 30 minutes at room temp or longer in fridge to develop flavours. Remove chicken from marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill over medium heat approximately 5-7 minutes per side or until chicken is cooked through and a meat thermometer reads 165 F.
- Remove from grill and let sit a couple minutes. Serve with rice.
Can’t believe how much flavor there was in this chicken. It turned out exactly as you said. A keeper!
Delicious and so easy to make. We loved it!
My family absolutely loved this dish. We also made the coconut rice and served it with the rice. So darn good!
Excellent flavors in this Thai dish! The recipe is going on repeat this summer!
So good and almost better the next day. We love leftovers so I doubled the recipe and put leftovers into wraps for lunches. Loved it!
I have made this three times in two months. It is so delicious and easy to make. I’m going to make this for my in-laws next!
