What would be a good marinade for chicken for a curry dish?

I am making a cocunut milk curry dish. It is made with veggies(tomato, green pepper, green onion and mushroom) and chicken in a sauce(cocunut milk, curry powder, chili powder, soy sauce, fresh basil)?

I add just plain baked chicken to it after quickly cooking the veggies in the sauce. I think the chicken would be more flavorful if I marinaded it, but unsure how to marinade it and with what?

In similar indian cooking, we marinade it with some yogurt. It makes the meat very tender and add more heavy flavor to the sauce after everything is cooked.

italian salad dressing

I use Italian dressing. It adds flavor and makes the chicken tender.

Maybe it doesn’t suit your needs, but I like a bit of teriyaki sauce, tablespoon oil, snipped green onions, fresh ginger – minced, dash of vinegar, and a bit of pineapple or other sweet juice. Mix well. Add chicken and marinate at least 40 minutes.

In North Indian cooking, where they use curds everywhere, yogurt may do; but for the recipe you r trying, thick coconut milk or its cream and then a little soy sauce (marinate separately) would help retain the flavour.

I go with Red Thai Curry paste….it works for me!

This is from a recipe I found that is a curry and coconut chicken dish w/basil. If you follow the recipe below you will get the desired results you are searching for. Also at the bottom I added the recipe that I got this from…

4 x Chicken breast halves, skinless, boneless, 1 lb.
1/2 tsp Ground cardamom
1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp Ground cloves
1/2 tsp Ground coriander
1/2 tsp Ground cumin
Salt
Cracked black pepper
1/4 tsp Ground turmeric
1/4 tsp Chili powder

Rinse chicken; pat dry; cut in 1″ pieces. Place in a medium bowl. In a small bowl stir together spices (cardamom to chili powder). Sprinkle over chicken; toss to coat. Cover and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes or in the refrigerator 1-2 hours, then bake as you were going to do for the recipe you are using…

a simple citrus marinade with orange and lemon juices will give it a little extra zing and keep meat tender.

Since it’s a curry, the marinade doesn’t need to be too fancy, just to add texture, and make the meat softer and tastier, I’d recommend just a garlic-ginger paste rub with yoghurt, and refrigerate for 2 hours to set and allow the flavours to meld in.

Use Red or Yellow curry paste, and stir fry the chicken in the paste, then add to your coconut milk/curry mixture.
