Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast
- 5 cloves Shallots
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 stalk (white part only) Lemongrass
- 2 nuts Candle nuts
- 2 pieces, seeded Red chilies
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 3 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar substitute
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole (juiced) Lime
- 1 can Coconut oil spray
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine the shallots, garlic, lemongrass, candle nuts, red chilies, turmeric powder, and coriander powder. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste.
In a shallow bowl, mix the paste with low sodium soy sauce, salt, sugar substitute, black pepper, and lime juice.
Add the chicken breasts into the bowl and thoroughly coat them with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly spray the grill grates with coconut oil spray to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated grill.
Grill each side of the chicken for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Low Fat Ayam Bakar with a side of steamed rice and your choice of vegetables.
