This recipe comes from the Sala Thai Cook Book, by Kay Kalayanamitr. 

4 pieces deboned chicken breast or thighs, or combination thereof
5 tbs. white sugar
2 tsp. white pepper
1 tsp. black pepper (I used fresh coarse grind)
1/4 cup Maggi soy sauce (I used reduced-sodium Kikkoman)
1/4 cup coconut milk
3 tbs. cooking oil (I used canola)
3 tbs. chopped garlic

3 tbs. chopped cilantro


Here's a pic of the chicken covered in the marinade before it went onto the grill. The recipe says 4 pieces, but I had three breasts cut into strips. The book says to marinade for at least half an hour, but I let them sit for 3-4 hours.


Here are the breast strips going onto my grill.


Grilled for about 5-6 mins and then flipped.


On the cutting board after both sides had cooked, about 10-12 mins total.

These came out to-die-for. I loved the flavor of the crusty outside and the soy sauce seems to lend a brine effect to the chicken because the meat was quite tender, and very juicy for breast meat. I highly recommend this marinade.

I agree, that looks fantastic. I would think some chopped Thai Chiles would make a "Caps" fan happy too...

Have fun and as always...
 
Looks really good! We use a similar marinade that also includes fresh squeezed lime and thai chiles! After grilling the chicken I'll add it to curry!
 
Thanks for looking, here's what the cook book says about leftovers:

Sala Thai Salad

2 bbq'd chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips

3 tbs. lime juice

1 tsp. roasted coconut, grated

4 tsp. fish sauce

2 tbs. sugar

3 tsp. cilantro, chopped

1/2 small cucumber, sliced thin

1/2 red onion, julienne

3 tbs. coconut milk

2 tbs. roasted sesame seeds

1 tbs. chili paste
 
Some roasted peanuts, some deep-fried shallots for crunch & crisp,palm sugar instead of white if you had it & it looks like a classic "larb",thai salad.Not thats theres anything wrong with what you have already.
