Fragrant lemongrass is used freely in Vietnamese cooking. Use just the tender inner core from the bottom third of the stalk, and
mince finely. Serve this dish with rice or rice noodles. May be frozen and halved.

1/4 cup minced fresh lemongrass, from 2 to 3 stalks, or jarred
1 large shallot, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 T bsp. brown sugar
2 T bsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 T bsp. canola oil
1 T bsp. nom pla (fish sauce, found in the International aisle)
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
4 (6- to 8-oz.) Inspirations Boneless S kinless Chicken Breasts, trimmed

Optional ingredients:
English cucumber, thinly sliced, and shredded carrots
Nuoc cham (optional, bottled or home-made)

1. Place lemongrass, shallots, and garlic in a food processor or blender and pulse to blend. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, oil,
nom pla, and pepper and process until well mixed. Scrape into a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, seal bag, and turn to coat meat well. Refrigerate 4 to 6 hours.
2. When ready to cook chicken, preheat grill to medium-high. Lightly oil grate. Grill chicken 4 to 5 minutes per side or until just
