Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • juice and zest of 2-3 limes (about 1/4 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1/4 cup full fat coconut milk (solid / creamy stuff in a can for a creamier sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemongrass paste (or fresh grated lemongrass, if you have access!)
  • half a jalapeño pepper, ribs and seeds removed
  • 1 clove garlic
  • small bundle of fresh cilantro
  • small bundle of fresh mint
  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 1/2 cups rice, uncooked

Instruction

  • Sauce: Pulse all sauce ingredients together in a food processor until smooth.
  • Chicken: Pour about half of the sauce over the chicken and allow to marinade for 30 minutes. (This 30 minute wait time is a good time to make some rice!)
  • Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Cook the chicken on both sides until browned and fully cooked, about 4 minutes per side. Allow to rest for a few minutes.
  • To finish: Serve grilled chicken with rice and vegetables, and drizzle with remaining sauce.
