Lemongrass Chicken Noodle Bowls

These colorful, Vietnamese-inspired Lemongrass Chicken Noodle Bowls are made with marinated chicken thighs and served over noodles with lots of vegetables and fresh herbs.
These Lemongrass Chicken Noodle Bowls are inspired by Vietnamese bún gà nướng—a dish that combines grilled lemongrass-marinated chicken with rice noodles, fresh herbs, crisp vegetables, and a punchy fish sauce-based dressing (nuoc cham). It’s light and refreshing yet bold and hearty and makes for the perfect weeknight dinner.
