Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Curry powder
- 4 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 tablespoon (freshly grated) Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces (large enough to wrap chicken) Foil sheets
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, curry powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Lay the foil sheets flat on a work surface. Drizzle 1/4 tablespoon of olive oil onto the center of each sheet to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Place one chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet.
Step 5
Spoon 1/4 of the coconut curry sauce over each chicken breast, ensuring it is well-coated.
Step 6
Fold the sides of the foil over the chicken to create a sealed packet. Be sure to crimp the edges tightly to avoid leaking.
Step 7
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven.
Step 8
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the packets rest for 5 minutes before opening (be cautious of steam).
Step 10
Garnish the chicken with chopped cilantro before serving.
Step 11
Serve the chicken with your choice of side, such as rice or steamed vegetables, for a complete meal.
