Description
A vibrant and flavorful dish that combines succulent chicken and aromatic lemongrass for a delightful culinary experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless chicken (breast or thighs)
- 2 stalks fresh lemongrass (minced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Fresh cilantro or Thai basil (for garnish)
- Optional: vegetables such as zucchini, bell peppers, or snap peas
Instructions
- Slice the chicken into bite-size pieces and place them in a bowl.

Notes
For deeper flavors, consider marinating the chicken overnight. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming.
