Lemongrass Chicken with Scallion Oil

Welcome to Day 4 of my first series – Cooking Dinner for 21 Days! OK OK OK, THIS LEMONGRASS CHICKEN RECIPE IS HONESTLY SOOOO GOOD; PLEASE MAKE IT ASAP, TRUST ME! You can serve it with a side of salad, rice, or on top of vermicelli noodles, whatever you like. I am cooking it today on the stove; however, if you have a BBQ, that will taste amazing! 

Lemongrass chicken is my go-to order whenever I go to Vietnamese restaurants. It has such an outstanding balance of savory and sweetness, the fish sauce gives the dish so much depth, and the lemongrass keeps the dish refreshing. If you never tried Lemongrass Chicken, this is your sign to try this chicken recipe out ASAP!! 

Lemongrass Chicken with Scallion Oil, better than a restaurant and cooked in less than 30 minutes.
