Easy and Flavor-packed Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken - Chef Mia Recipes

Ingredients

• 4 chicken thighs, no skin or bones (you can use chicken breasts if you want a healthier option)
• 2 tablespoons lemongrass, finely diced (make sure to only use the softer inside part)
• 4 garlic cloves, chopped up small
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce (swap out for soy sauce if you need it to be vegetarian)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder (great for light yellow coloring and mild taste)
• 1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lime juice
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (totally up to you if you'd like some spice)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for the marination
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1 average-sized onion, sliced thinly
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips (optional for color and texture)
• A little drizzle of sesame oil for a more intense flavor (optional)
• A handful of fresh cilantro, chopped, for sprinkling on at the end
• Lime slices for squeezing when serving
• Steamed jasmine rice or regular white rice
• A refreshing side of raw veggies or a salad (if you'd like to add more)
