Trim the tendons and any unwanted bits off of tenderloins. People love the fork trick! (Google it if you’d like!) But I prefer to simply cut a little triangle out of my tenderloins and move on. Doesn’t need to be perfect!
Combine the remaining ingredients to form your marinade and pour it over the chicken in a resealable bag or container. You can refrigerate for several hours – overnight. OR if you’re more pressed for time, I like to let it marinate for about 30 minutes on my counter before grilling. If storing in the fridge, remove the chicken about 20-30 minutes before grilling to allow it to come to room temperature for more even cooking.
Pre-heat and carefully oil your grill. Sprinkle chicken with a fresh pinch of kosher salt and a little cracked pepper. Cook over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes per side or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Notes
For breasts: I love to butterfly my breasts for even cooking. Grill for about 4 minutes per side or to 165°F.
GF/DF: Yes! Just make sure to use gluten-free soy sauce.

veggies are tender. Turn off the heat.

until al dente. Add the cooked noodles along with 1/2 cup of
the pasta water to the curry and toss well. If necessary
remaining 1/4 cup of the pasta water to reach desired

my bowl and add even more fresh basil and garlic
