Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Skinless chicken breasts
- 60 ml Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 large Onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large Red chili, deseeded and sliced
- 125 ml Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and aromatic, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the sliced red chili and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes.
Introduce the chicken pieces to the pan and stir-fry until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and water. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Season with black pepper and adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Cover the pan and let the chicken simmer for about 10-12 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
Remove the lid and allow the sauce to reduce slightly if a thicker consistency is desired, stirring occasionally.
Once done, remove from heat and garnish with chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve the Ayam Masak Kicap hot with steamed brown rice or a side of your choice for a heart-healthy meal.
