A quick and easy creamy curry mayo sauce that adds a flavorful punch to grilled chicken, made with simple pantry ingredients in under 5 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (120 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Measure out 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise and curry powder. Whisk gently but thoroughly until the curry powder is evenly dispersed and the mixture turns a uniform golden color (about 30 seconds).
  3. Pour in the fresh lemon juice and honey. Whisk continuously to blend the flavors evenly. Add a teaspoon of water or more lemon juice if a thinner consistency is desired.
  4. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and taste to adjust salt or honey as preferred.
  5. Let the sauce sit for at least 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. It can be served immediately if needed.
  6. Grill chicken breasts or thighs over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest before slicing.
  7. Drizzle or dollop the creamy curry mayo sauce over the grilled chicken. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley if desired.

Notes

Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for best flavor. Adjust honey to balance tanginess. Sauce thickens when refrigerated; stir and add a splash of water or lemon juice before serving. Substitute Greek yogurt for mayo for a lighter version or avocado oil-based mayo for dairy-free. Sauce can be made 2 days ahead and stored in the fridge. Avoid overheating sauce in microwave to prevent separation.
