🌿 Lemongrass Chicken Recipe (Easy, Aromatic & Healthy)

A fragrant and flavorful Vietnamese-inspired lemongrass chicken that’s perfect for weeknight dinners! This recipe uses simple ingredients, cooks fast, and offers restaurant-style taste at home.

📝 Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 500g chicken thighs (boneless)
  • 2 stalks lemongrass (white part finely minced)
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 small onion (grated or minced)
  • 1 tbsp ginger (minced)
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
  • 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp oil

🔥 Instructions

1. Prepare the marinade

In a bowl, mix lemongrass, garlic, ginger, onion, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, and chili flakes.

2. Marinate the chicken

Add chicken thighs and coat well.
Marinate at least 30 minutes (overnight gives best flavor).

3. Cook the chicken

Heat oil in a pan on medium-high.
Sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

4. Caramelize for flavor

Let the marinade reduce in the pan to thicken into a glossy coating.

5. Serve hot

Slice and serve with rice, noodles, or salad.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • With jasmine rice or coconut rice
  • In rice bowls with veggies
  • With vermicelli noodles (Bún style)
  • Inside lettuce wraps
  • With stir-fried greens
  • As a meal-prep protein

💡 Pro Tips

  • Use chicken thighs for juicier texture.
  • Finely mince lemongrass for best flavor release.
  • Grill or air-fry for smoky flavor.

❓ FAQs 

1. Can I use chicken breast instead of thighs?

Yes! Chicken breast works well but may cook faster, so don’t overcook.

2. What if I can’t find fresh lemongrass?

Use 1–2 teaspoons lemongrass paste as a substitute.

3. Can I make lemongrass chicken ahead of time?

Yes, it stores well for 3–4 days in the fridge and is great for meal prep.

4. Is this recipe spicy?

It’s mildly spicy, but you can skip chili flakes for a non-spicy version.
