Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces skinless boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 5 pieces red bird's eye chilies
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 pieces shallots
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Rub the chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper evenly.
Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, make the sambal by roughly chopping the red chilies, garlic cloves, and shallots.
In a mortar and pestle, combine the chopped chilies, garlic, and shallots and grind into a coarse paste.
In a small pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chili paste and sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant.
Turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice and low-sodium soy sauce. Set aside.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 5 minutes. Then gently pound the chicken with a pestle or rolling pin to flatten slightly.
Pour the prepared sambal over the smashed chicken, coating it thoroughly.
Serve the Ayam Geprek with cooked white rice and enjoy!
