Lemongrass Chicken Breasts Recipes

VIETNAMESE GRILLED LEMONGRASS CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix canola oil, lemongrass, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and fish sauce together in a mixing bowl until the sugar is dissolved; add chicken and turn to coat in the marinade.
• Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken thighs from the marinade and shake to remove excess marinade. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Grill chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

LEMONGRASS CHICKEN

Steps:

• Wash and dry the chicken and trim off any fat. Cut the chicken breast across the grain on the diagonal into 1/8-inch strips.
• Cut these strips into 2-inch pieces.
• Combine the chicken, honey, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce in a bowl and stir to mix.
• Let marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Trim the green leaves and root end off the lemongrass stalk and strip off the outside leaves.
• What remains will be a greenish crea m-colored core 4 to 5 inches long and 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
• Mince the core finely: You'll need about 2 tablespoons.
• Just before serving, heat a wok (preferably nonstick) over high heat and swirl in the oil.
• Add the garlic and lemongrass and stir-fry until fragrant but not brown, about 15 seconds.
• Add the chicken and stir-fry until the pieces turn white, about 1 minute. Move the chicken to the sides of the wok and add the o nion to the center.
• Stir-fry until the onion loses its rawness, about 1 minute. Mix the chicken back in the center of the wok, add the remaining fish sauce, continue stir-frying until the chicken is cooked, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Correct the seasoning, adding honey or fish sauce to taste. The dish should be a little sweet and salty.
• Sprinkle the chicken with the cilantro, if desired, and serve at once.

LEMONGRASS CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix chicken, fish sauce, and honey together in a bowl; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; swirl in oil. Add red bell peppers, lemongrass, ginger, and garlic; cook until red bell pepper strips tender, about 5 minutes. Add chicken mixture; saute until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes.
• Stir green onions, chicken broth, sugar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper into the wok. Simmer, uncovered, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

EASY LEMONGRASS CHICKEN

Steps:

• Thinly slice the lemongrass and then chop it up as finely as you can (alternatively you can use a food processor or chopper for the mincing part). Do the same with the purple onion and mix both in a bowl to create the marinade.
• Add the chili and sauces and stir again. Finally, add the Carnation milk and sugar. Stir everything together until sugar is dissolved.
• Place chicken pieces in a flat baking pan. Pour the lemongrass concoction over, turning chicken to saturate. Turn pieces skin-side down and set in refrigerator to marinate at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Turn chicken pieces skin-side up and spoon a little more of the marinade from the pan over the surface of each piece. Set baking pan in the middle of your oven and bake 60-75 minutes, until chicken is golden-brown on the surface.
• Accompany with plenty of Thai jasmine rice on the side and ENJOY!
