Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 inch ginger
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon stevia extract
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 200 milliliters water
- 2 stalks green onions
Instructions
Begin by slicing the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season it with salt and black pepper, and then coat it with cornstarch.
In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
Chop the onion and red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and ginger.
In the same pan, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, stevia extract, soy sauce, and water to the pan. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, stirring to coat the chicken in the sauce. Let it cook for another 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the finished dish as a garnish before serving.
Serve the Sugar-Free Ayam Asam Manis hot with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
