I had some leftover Thai marinade in the refrigerator so we used that.  Here is the Thai marinade recipe, a picture of our dinner and a few other choices.  Because I had the marinade in the fridge, I was able to pour over the chicken this morning before I left for work so it only needed grilling.

Thai marinade

  • 4 – 6 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1 TB cumin seed
  • 2 TB coriander seed
  • 1 TB peppercorns
  • 2/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar and/or honey
  • 1 TB turmeric powder
  • 1 lime
  • 1 tsp ground Thai chili peppers
  • 1 cup coconut cream
Toast the cumin seed, coriander and peppercorns in a dry pan over the stove for a few minutes until aromatic.  Grind together in a mortar and pestle.  Add garlic and continue grinding until ingredients make a paste.  Put paste in a bowl and add brown sugar, soy sauce, juice from lime, ground chili pepper, turmeric and coconut cream.  Mix well.

Chipotle marinade 

  • 2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 TB tomato juice
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 TB sherry vinegar
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • salt and pepper

Combine all ingredients in a blender.  NOTE: Marinade keeps well in refrigerator.  We have also had this on steak, shrimp and pork chops.

Indonesian Marinade 

  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup peanut oil
  • zest and juice of 2 lemons
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh ginger
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 TB Dijon mustard

Combine all ingredients.   This is also good on fish.

Grilled Eastern Shore chicken

  • Chicken breasts, bone in (two per person for leftovers)
  • 1 cup white wine vinegar
  • 3 oz olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 3 tsp poultry seasoning
Combine marinade ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Let cool to room temperature before marinating.

One tip – be careful if you let a 5 year old be your assistant.  We were almost finished with the Indonesian marinade when in a valiant effort to squeeze garlic in the garlic press, she knocked over the whole cup.  This resulted in a sobbing 5 year old, the start of a load of laundry and a second trip to the grocery store to get more lemons and more ginger.  We acquired our ingredients and got both finished.  There is plenty of chipotle marinade left in the refrigerator and it works well with pork chops, chicken or any kind of beef so that will make another appearance next week.  The 5 year old is now happy because the second trip to the store included cookies from the bakery so we’re all good.

Combine all ingredients and marinate chicken breasts (1 per person) overnight.  Grill until done.  (This would also be good on shrimp or fish.)
