Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, minced ginger, minced garlic, and chopped lemongrass.
Add the low-sodium soy sauce, lime juice, honey, olive oil, black pepper, and salt into the bowl. Mix well to form a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
During the grilling process, periodically baste the chicken with the remaining marinade for enhanced flavor.
Once grilled, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 3 minutes before serving.
Garnish the grilled chicken with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve the Heart-Healthy Ayam Bakar with a side of steamed vegetables or brown rice for a complete, wholesome meal.
