About Chicken balado

Chicken Balado is a flavorful Indonesian dish hailing from Minangkabau cuisine, known for its spicy and aromatic notes. The dish features tender chicken pieces coated in balado sauce, a blend made from chili peppers, shallots, garlic, tomatoes, and lime leaves, stir-fried to perfection. Rich in protein from the chicken, it offers essential amino acids that support muscle health. The chili-based sauce brings antioxidants and vitamins, such as vitamin C, which boost immunity and overall health. However, the dish can be high in sodium due to seasonings and potentially high in saturated fats if fried in excess oil. Traditionally served as part of larger meals, Chicken Balado pairs beautifully with steamed rice. Enjoyed in moderation, this dish can be a vibrant addition to a balanced diet while giving a burst of bold flavor indicative of Indonesia’s culinary heritage.
