Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 4 medium Shallots
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 2 small Red chili peppers
- 1 tsp Coriander powder
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
- 4 leaves Kaffir lime leaves
- 2 leaves Bay leaves
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 stalk Lemongrass stalk
- 500 ml Vegetable stock
- 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
1. Begin by cleaning the chicken breasts, removing any visible fat, and set them aside.
2. Thinly slice the shallots and garlic cloves. Slice the red chili peppers, removing seeds if you prefer less heat.
3. Prepare the lemongrass by peeling away the outer layers and finely chop the tender inner stalk.
4. In a large pot, bring the vegetable stock to a boil, then add the chicken breasts. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and poach the chicken for about 20 minutes or until fully cooked. Once done, remove the chicken and set it aside to cool slightly.
5. While the chicken is cooling, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic, and red chili peppers, sauteing until they are soft and fragrant.
6. Add coriander powder, turmeric powder, kaffir lime leaves, bay leaves, lemongrass, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
7. Shred the cooled chicken using two forks until finely shredded.
8. Add the shredded chicken to the pan with the spices and combine everything well, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.
9. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture, stir again, and cook everything together for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
10. Remove kaffir lime leaves and bay leaves before serving. Serve the Low Fat Ayam Suwir warm with steamed rice or on its own as part of a healthy meal.
