About Chicken with lemongrass

Chicken with Lemongrass is a flavorful dish rooted in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly Vietnamese and Thai traditions. The recipe typically features tender chicken pieces marinated and stir-fried with lemongrass, garlic, ginger, chili, and fish sauce, creating a fragrant and savory profile. Lemongrass imparts a citrusy aroma and contains antioxidants that may support digestion and immune health. The dish often includes heart-healthy unsaturated oils for cooking and is often prepared with minimal added sugar or processed ingredients. However, some versions can be high in sodium due to the fish sauce and soy sauce used, so moderation is key for those monitoring salt intake. Served with steamed rice or fresh vegetables, Chicken with Lemongrass strikes a balance between robust flavors and healthy components, making it a delicious and nutritious option for a balanced meal.
