I am in a rut...  For the life of me, I can't think of anything interesting to do with the following ingredients... help please!!!!

 

skin on chicken thighs

cilantro (including the stems)

limes

ginger

 

My pantry is well stocked with most things needed for anything west of the pacific ocean...

The above sounds good, but you could simplify things if you are lacking fish sauce or tamarind. Just saute the chicken to brown and remove. Add some ginger and garlic to saute briefly, then some chicken broth and the cilantro, minus the stems, chopped.. Add back chicken, braise half an hour or so and add sriracha or whatever hot sauce you have to taste. Serve over rice with a squirt of lime juice, or, if really soupy, maybe with rice noodles. That's what I would probably do if I didn't want to leave the house or think about it too much.
