Thai Style Grilled Chicken Breasts

If you like the spice, this is the recipe for you. Flavorful and delicious without causing too much pain. And I suspect it's relatively healthy. In fact, according to my cooking software, this recipe (without the rice) comes in at 52 calories. Huh, that seems too little. Maybe that's why I'm still hungry.

Thai Style Grilled Chicken Breasts
Serves 4 - but I drilled it down to 2 - this is the 4 recipe

• 1/2 cup White vinegar
• 1/3 cup Sugar
• 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
• 2 T Fish sauce (did you know if you didn't have fish sauce soy sauce can be used in it's place? You do now!)
• 1 T Fresh grated ginger (I used about 2 tsp of dry ground ginger)
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 T Vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper

Heat vinegar, sugar and pepper flakes in small sauce pan over medium high heat until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Off heat, stir in cilantro, fish sauce, ginger and garlic.

Rub chicken with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over hot fire until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to platter and brush with 1/4 cup sauce. Tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve, passing remaining sauce at table.

I let the chicken sit then thinly sliced it on a bias. Put that over rice, and drizzled the sauce over that. Nummers!
