Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces kampung chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 stalks lemongrass stalks, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 unit red chili, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chopped lemongrass, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, coconut aminos, and sliced red chili. Mix well to form a cohesive mixture.
Rinse the kampung chicken breasts under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place the chicken breasts into the bowl with the marinade and ensure each piece is thoroughly coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow flavours to infuse.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts to the pan. Reserve leftover marinade for later.
Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and thoroughly cooked through. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (75°C).
While cooking, you may occasionally spoon more marinade over the chicken to enhance flavor.
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
Slice the chicken breasts across the grain into thin strips. This will ensure tender bites.
Serve the sliced Dada Ayam Kampung on a plate, garnishing with freshly chopped coriander leaves, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Enjoy your low-carb meal, optionally paired with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables.
