Ingredients

2 stalks fresh lemongrass, finely chopped

2 tablespoons cooking oil (or tamari for gluten-free)
4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Sliced cucumbers, for serving
Roasted peanuts, for garnish
Jasmine rice or vermicelli noodles, for serving

Instructions

Combine lemongrass, garlic, ginger, and oil to create the marinade.
Coat the chicken thoroughly with the marinade and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken.
