Rinse the ayam kampung breast under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, black pepper, and salt.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the marinated chicken breasts on the tray, ensuring they are not touching.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Sprinkle fresh chopped coriander leaves over the chicken before serving. Enjoy your low-fat Dada Ayam Kampung with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad.
