Grilled Thai Chicken

Having your meals planned out is sometimes half the battle…having them prepared ahead of time is brilliant! Make ahead meals can make your life so much easier, and this Grilled Thai Chicken is a delicious start to a stress-free dinner.

this recipe!

Grilling season is quickly approaching and what better way to get dinner on the table fast then to have the meat all prepared and marinated ahead of time. We used Chicken Thighs, typically less expensive than Chicken Breasts, added the marinade in a large resealable bag and tossed it in the fridge. Then when it was time to start grilling, the chicken was ready to go.

We loved the flavor combination of ginger, garlic, soy sauce, fresh herbs and jalapenos. Doug whipped up a batch of Fried Rice to go with the Thai Chicken and we had dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes.

Notes

Liz says…I love the ease of Make-Ahead Meals. This Thai Chicken was really good, but not as flavorful as I was expecting, next time we will marinate longer and maybe add a little more ingredients.

Doug says…I added only 1 jalapeno, next time I will add 2 to kick up the flavor.
