Ingredients
  

  • 6 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 2 stalks lemongrass white parts only, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 4 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix minced garlic, ginger, chopped lemongrass, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add the chicken thighs to the bowl. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Remove the chicken 10 minutes before cooking to let it come to room temperature. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
