Discover the rich flavors of "Keto Dada Ayam Kampung," a traditional Indonesian-inspired dish reimagined for your low-carb lifestyle. This recipe features tender, free-range chicken breast marinated in zesty lime juice and seasoned with aromatic spices like turmeric, coriander, and ginger. Sautéed in fragrant coconut oil with shallots, garlic, and lemongrass, this dish boasts layers of vibrant flavor and a hint of heat from red chili peppers. Ready in under an hour, it's both a quick and nutritious option for dinner, packed with wholesome, keto-friendly ingredients. Garnished with fresh cilantro, this culinary masterpiece pairs beautifully with steamed greens or cauliflower rice, making it the perfect blend of heritage and health-conscious dining.
Begin by preparing the ingredients. Thinly slice the shallots, mince the garlic, and slice the red chili peppers. Grate the ginger and finely chop the lemongrass (use only the tender part).
In a large mixing bowl, place the chicken breasts and add lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the shallots and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, sliced chili peppers, and grated ginger. Continue to sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Incorporate the ground turmeric and coriander powder into the skillet, stirring to evenly coat the aromatic ingredients.
Add the chopped lemongrass to the mixture, cooking for another minute.
Place the marinated chicken breasts into the skillet. Cook the chicken for about 10 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
Once the chicken is cooked through, remove the skillet from the heat. Allow the chicken to rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish the chicken with fresh cilantro just before serving.
Serve the Keto Dada Ayam Kampung hot, alongside your favorite keto-friendly side dishes.
