Lemongrass Chicken

Happy New Year, it has been awhile since my last post, but there was so much going with holidays. Also i have been playing with the flavors of South East Asian, it is an area i have not explored before. Here is one of the recipes i recreated from one of my favorite Thai dishes: Enjoy

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts, skinned and boned
1/4 cup shredded lemon mint
3 green onions chopped into about 1 inch slices
2 tablespoons of minced lemongrass, from the blub end
2 tablespoons of minced garlic
2 tablespoons of fish sauce
1 tablespoon of minced chili of choice
2 teaspoons of raw sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons of soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Canola oi

Directions
Cut chicken into bit sizes pieces and place in a large bowl followed by the balance of the ingredients with the exception of the mint and the oil. Toss to coat, cover and place in the fridge to marinate, at least 2 hours, the longer the better.

Place a large skillet over medium high heat with a few table spoons of oil and heat until oil starts to shimmer. Now add the chicken and stir fry the chicken until done, about 3 to 4 minutes. Take a piece and cut open to make sure its cooked through. Serve with a nice spicy cucumber salad.
