Ingredients
boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 pieces
tamarind paste
3 tablespoons
honey
2 tablespoons
minced garlic
2 cloves
chili flakes
1 teaspoon
jasmine rice
1 cup
coconut milk
1 cup
fresh cilantro
1 bunch
lime juice
2 tablespoons
salt
1 teaspoon

2 pieces
Instructions
1

Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in a mixture of tamarind paste, honey, minced garlic, and chili flakes for at least 30 minutes.

2

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat while the chicken marinates. Once marinated, remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off.

3

Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the coconut-cilantro rice by cooking jasmine rice according to package instructions, substituting half of the water with coconut milk.

4

Once the rice is cooked, stir in chopped fresh cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. For the glaze, combine the remaining marinade in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.

5

Brush the thickened glaze over the grilled chicken during the last minute of cooking. Serve the grilled chicken over a bed of coconut-cilantro rice, garnished with lime wedges and additional cilantro for a fresh finish.
