My husband is famous for this wonderfully easy grilled chicken. People are usually skeptical about its green color but they always fall in love with its spicy, Asian flavor and tender texture. Ingredients:

3 cloves garlic, chopped |
3 small red hot chili peppers |
1 teaspoon curry powder |
1 teaspoon ground turmeric |
1 tablespoon white sugar |
3 tablespoons fish sauce (found in asian markets) |
3 lbs chicken, cut into pieces (we usually use breast tenders) |
1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk, reserve 1/2 cup |
Directions:
1. Trim cilanto root ends.
2. In a blender, combine cilantro bunch, garlic, chile peppers, curry powder, turmeric, sugar, fish sauce, and coconut milk.
