Instructions:
- In a medium nonmetal bowl, whisk together the orange juice, peanut butter, and curry powder until well combined.
- Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, turning them to ensure they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but no longer than 24 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
- When ready to cook, heat your grill, whether it’s coals or gas, to medium heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any excess marinade.
- Grill the chicken and bell peppers over medium heat, approximately 4-6 inches from the heat source, for 15-20 minutes, turning them once, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the peppers are tender and slightly charred.
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken breasts to a cutting board and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Cut the grilled bell peppers into 1/2-inch strips.
- To serve, arrange the sliced chicken and bell peppers on a serving platter, then sprinkle with coconut and currants for a burst of sweetness.
- Serve alongside rice for a complete meal that’s sure to impress!
Tips:
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- If you don’t have access to a grill, you can also cook the chicken and bell peppers on a stovetop grill pan or in the oven under the broiler.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by adding your favorite vegetables to the grill alongside the chicken and peppers.
- Make extra marinade and reserve some for basting the chicken as it grills for an extra burst of flavor.
