4 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 pounds)
Lemongrass Marinade
2 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more for seasoning and cooking water
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 pound sugar snap peas, strings removed
2 shallots, roughly chopped
1 inch piece ginger, roughly chopped
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
3/4 cup fresh mint
3/4 cup fresh cilantro
6 tablespoons canola oil
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped into pieces

I'm not really a fan of lemongrass, so I wasn't sure if I would like this salad. But I was pleasantly surprised! The flavors were really well-balanced and the salad was really refreshing.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I'm always disappointed. The chicken is always dry and the salad is just too bland.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less lemongrass next time.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my salad turned out really bland. Maybe I didn't use enough lemongrass?
