Steps:
- Bring coconut milk, half of the lemongrass, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce almost to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken. Reduce to a simmer, and cook, flipping chicken once, until it is cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes per side. Remove from heat. Transfer chicken to a cutting board, and cut crosswise into thin slices. Return chicken to coconut milk mixture; cover, and set aside.
