About Citronella chicken

Citronella Chicken is a flavorful dish inspired by Southeast Asian cuisine, blending aromatic herbs and spices to create a vibrant meal. The star ingredient, citronella (commonly known as lemongrass), lends a citrusy, refreshing aroma that pairs perfectly with tender, grilled or sautéed chicken. Typically marinated in a mixture of lemongrass, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and lime juice, the dish embodies a balance of tangy, savory, and mildly sweet notes. Rich in protein from the chicken, Citronella Chicken is a lean and nutritious option when prepared with minimal oil and served alongside steamed vegetables or whole grains. Lemongrass is known for its antioxidants and potential anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to overall wellness. However, excessive use of sodium from soy sauce or added sugar in marinades may make this dish less healthy if not moderated. A lighter preparation ensures this vibrant dish remains an excellent choice for health-conscious diners.
