Lemongrass chicken & rice is a light yet flavour-packed weeknight meal that comes together quickly in about 25 minutes. Lemongrass gives the chicken a lovely citrus aroma and taste, and the dish gets a nice contrast from crisp cucumber seasoned with chilli flakes – fresh with a gentle heat. This recipe is especially good for busy evenings when you want something a bit different without complicated steps.
What makes lemongrass chicken special?
The deliciousness comes from simple but perfectly balanced flavours: fried chicken, aromatic lemongrass, the savoury saltiness of soy sauce and a touch of sweetness from honey. Jasmine rice makes the meal soft and satisfying, while the sesame oil on the chilli cucumber adds a nutty finish. Protein-rich chicken keeps hunger at bay and makes this a great choice for an active everyday routine.
With these tips you’ll succeed every time
Cut the chicken into evenly sized pieces so it cooks quickly and stays juicy. With lemongrass, it’s best to use only the tender inner part and slice it as thinly as possible so the flavour releases well. If you want a milder version, reduce the chilli flakes; for more heat, add more or finish with fresh chilli. If needed, honey can be replaced with a pinch of sugar.
Best ways to serve lemongrass chicken
Serve the chicken family-style on a large platter, with the rice on the side and the chilli cucumber in a bowl so everyone can build their own plate. A green salad or steamed vegetables also work well as an extra side. A refreshing sparkling water with lemon or a light iced tea highlights the lemongrass flavour.
