This bold, Thai-inspired chicken soup brings together chicken, coconut milk, fresh herbs, and a kick of heat—all simmered to perfection on the recteq Bullseye.

Instructions

Step 1: Burning the recteq Ultimate Blend Pellets, preheat your RT-B380 Bullseye to 425°F and place the Matador Pan inside the Bullseye. Allow both to come up to temp.
Step 2: Add Boneless/Skinless chicken thighs to Matador Pan; sear on both sides. Add lemongrass, ginger, coconut oil, and Jody's Asian Persuasion Rub and mix well.
Step 3: Once chicken has some color on it, add: stock, fish sauce, lime juice, chili paste, and Thai chilis. Bring to a simmer.
Step 4: Once simmering, add: coconut milk, mushrooms, cilantro, and green onions. Mix well. Remove chicken thighs and rough chop and add back to soup. Let simmer for 15 minutes.
Step 5: Remove from Bullseye and serve with a lime wedge
