Asian Chicken Dinner

I have no idea what to call this besides Asian Chicken Dinner cuz that's exactly what it was. I threw together some ingredients that I thought would taste good together and you know what? They did! A lil bit spicy, a lil bit salty, a lil bit sweet and a lil bit sour and A LOTTA BIT yummy!

Ingredients:


1 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
salt and pepper
4 dried red chilies
1/4 c onions, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp lemongrass
1/4 c chicken broth
1/4 c thick coconut cream or heavy cream
rice noodles, for serving
chopped green onions, for garnish


Prep:


1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the pan and brown 5 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.


2. Turn heat down to medium and add the chilies and onions. Cook until onion is golden, 5 minutes. Add garlic, fish sauce, brown sugar and lemongrass and cook for 30 seconds.


3. Pour in chicken broth and deglaze. Stir in cream and add chicken back. Bring to a simmer and turn heat down to low. Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 20 minutes.


4. Serve chicken on top of rice noodles garnished with green onions.
