Stir Fried Lemon Grass Chicken

This is a recipe for a pretty easy and very flavorful stir-fry. When making this stir fry I always cut everything ahead of time and then just toss together. If Haricot Verts are not available I use fresh green beans. I also use lemongrass paste instead of fresh lemongrass. There is a link for the paste below the recipe. Enjoy!
