Ingredients
1 pkg Thai Red Curry Seasoning

1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1⁄2 lime, optional
Toppings (optional): lime wedges, Thai basil leaves
Preparation
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- In a large bowl, whisk together seasoning and coconut milk. Add chicken. If you have time, let stand 10 min or cover and refrigerate overnight.

- To serve, plate chicken; spoon sauce on top and squeeze fresh lime over, if desired.

Tips
Shake the can of coconut milk before opening to help ensure the cream on top mixes with the milk on the bottom.
Cooking time may vary depending on thickness of chicken and the grill. To test chicken for doneness, insert an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. It should register at 165° F.
