Creating Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken can be effortless if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
2. Mix Marinade: In a separate bowl, combine the chopped lemongrass, minced garlic, sliced chili peppers, fish sauce, soy sauce, vegetable oil, brown sugar, and black pepper.
3. Marinate Chicken: Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for optimal flavor.
4. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the pan in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
6. Add Remaining Marinade: Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
7. Taste and Adjust: Taste the chicken and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more fish sauce or chili for extra flavor.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
9. Serve: Serve the dish hot, alongside rice or noodles to soak up the delicious sauce.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish effortlessly.
