This lemongrass chicken is bursting with flavor and super satisfying! It's a Paleo, Whole30 + Keto weeknight dinner ready to go in about just 25 minutes!
To make the sauce, add all of the sauce ingredients to a food processor (or high-powered blender) and process until mostly smooth. Scrape sides down as needed; it will form a thick paste.
Place the chicken in a shallow dish and cover it with the sauce. Flip the chicken over to get the sauce on both sides.
If you have time, cover the dish and place the chicken in the refrigerator to marinate for 1 hour or longer.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil. Once the skillet is hot and shimmering, add the chicken thighs.
Cook without disturbing for 6-7 minutes and then flip and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove and serve with desired side and top with chopped cilantro. If you are serving with cauliflower rice, you can cook the rice in the same pan as the chicken to absorb some of the flavors.
