Delicious Thai Chicken Recipe with 7 Ingredients

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 lb chicken breast (boneless and skinless)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp coconut milk (for creaminess)
  • 1 tsp garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp ginger (grated)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger.

    Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved for even flavor.
  2. Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    For best results, marinate overnight.
  3. Cook the Chicken

    Heat a pan over medium heat and add the marinated chicken. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

    Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Add Coconut Milk

    If using, pour in the coconut milk and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

    This will create a rich, creamy sauce.
  5. Serve

    Slice the chicken and serve it over rice or noodles, garnished with fresh herbs.

    Lime wedges make a great garnish for extra flavor.
