Lemongrass Chicken Recipe​

Ingredients:​

For the Marinade:

• 2 stalks fresh lemongrass (tender part only, minced)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar or palm sugar
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

For the Chicken:

• 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)

Garnish:

• Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• Lime wedges
• Thinly sliced red chilies (optional)

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Marinade:
   • In a bowl, combine the minced lemongrass, garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, vegetable oil, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
   • Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but for best results, marinate for 2-4 hours or overnight.
3. Cook the Chicken:
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
   • Add the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your chicken pieces.
4. Serve:
   • Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and lime wedges. If you like a bit of heat, add some thinly sliced red chilies on top.
5. Optional:
   • Serve the lemongrass chicken with jasmine rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal. You can also add a side of steamed vegetables or pickled vegetables for extra crunch and flavor.

Enjoy your flavorful and aromatic lemongrass chicken! It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or for entertaining guests.
