About Chicken penang

Chicken Penang is a rich, flavorful dish originating from Thai cuisine, known for its creamy, aromatic curry. It features tender chicken simmered in a luscious coconut milk-based sauce infused with red curry paste, lime leaves, and a blend of spices. Typically garnished with fresh basil or kaffir lime zest, this dish delivers a balance of sweet, salty, spicy, and umami flavors. Nutritionally, it's a good source of protein from the lean chicken and contains heart-healthy fats from coconut milk. However, it can be calorie-dense due to the high fat content in the coconut milk and added oils, so portion control is key. Chicken Penang is often paired with steamed jasmine rice, which adds carbohydrates to the meal. For a lighter option, enjoy it with steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice to maintain its vibrant flavors while reducing overall calories.
