Lemongrass Chicken

Lemongrass chicken in 5 minutes, not counting marinating time. This might be the easiest recipe to cook on this website. The only real important thing to take note is to make sure that the chicken is sliced no thicker than 1/4” thick. You want this to cook fast. Putting the chicken in the freezer for a few minutes just to firm it up makes thin slicing a lot easier.

  • Slice the chicken as thin as possible. By thin, I mean 1/4” thick or les. If you put your chicken breast in the freezer for a few minutes to firm it up, it makes slicing it a lot easier. Marinate for 30 minutes.
