Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 400 ml Coconut milk
• 250 ml Chicken broth
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 2 pieces Lemongrass stalks
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon White pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and set aside.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic and ginger. Peel off the tough outer layers of the lemongrass stalks and bash them lightly with the back of a knife to release their aroma.

Step 3

Slice the carrot and zucchini into thin, even strips or rounds.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil over medium heat in a large, deep skillet or wok. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook until no longer pink on the outside, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk. Stir well, then add the lemongrass stalks. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Stir in the fish sauce, sugar, salt, and white pepper. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Add the sliced carrots and zucchini to the skillet. Simmer for another 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but not mushy, and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the lemongrass stalks from the dish. Stir in the lime juice and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice or warm flatbread for a wholesome meal.
