Instructions

Creating this Lemongrass Chicken with Rice and Zucchini involves straightforward steps that will guide you to a successful meal. Follow these instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine minced lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper. Add the chicken and coat well. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. Cook the Rice: Rinse jasmine rice in cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine rice and chicken broth, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is cooked.

3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

4. Cook the Chicken: Remove chicken from marinade. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning until golden brown and cooked through.

5. Add Zucchini: Once chicken is cooked, add sliced zucchini to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until zucchini is tender yet still crisp.

6. Finishing Touches: Drizzle lime juice over the chicken and zucchini, mixing well to incorporate flavors.

7. Fluff the Rice: Once the rice is ready, fluff it with a fork and keep it warm until ready to serve.

8. Plate the Dish: On a serving plate, create a base with jasmine rice, then top with the lemongrass chicken and zucchini.

9. Garnish: Finish with chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.

10. Serve: Enjoy your delicious Lemongrass Chicken with Rice and Zucchini warm!
