I made this for Russ and me tonight using 300g chicken (so half the amount) but I made 2/3 of the marinade and sauce. I used thigh fillets as I prefer them to breasts and, as we are currently in a remote area of Aus, I subbed finely chopped lemon rind for the lemon grass (it's not available and if it was it would be an astronomic price!). This was very quick, very tasty and really low fat (the current nutritional data would be much lower if the breasts used were listed as skinless). We ate this over rice with stir fried veg finished with oyster sauce on the side. It was a lovely dinner thanks TFC.
