A delicious and aromatic dish featuring tender chicken marinated in lemongrass, served with fluffy rice and sautéed zucchini.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine minced lemongrass, soy sauce, and vegetable oil. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. While the chicken is marinating, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. In the same skillet, add sliced zucchini and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. 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.
