- 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 stalks of lemongrass, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- In a bowl, combine minced lemongrass, soy sauce, and vegetable oil. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- While the chicken is marinating, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a pot, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked.
- In a skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
- In the same skillet, add sliced zucchini and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the lemongrass chicken over the rice with sautéed zucchini on the side.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add lime juice to the marinade.
- Feel free to substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option.
- Adjust the amount of lemongrass according to your taste preference.
