About Penang chicken

Penang Chicken is a flavorful dish rooted in Malaysian cuisine, inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Penang island. This dish typically features tender chicken simmered in a creamy, aromatic coconut milk-based curry infused with spices like turmeric, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves. It’s often enhanced with a hint of sweetness from palm sugar and balanced by subtle heat from red chilies. Served over steamed rice, its hearty composition makes it a satisfying meal. Penang Chicken offers protein from the chicken and healthy fats from coconut milk, but its richness can lead to higher calorie and saturated fat levels, depending on preparation. If made with lean chicken and lighter coconut milk, it can be a healthier option. The inclusion of herbs and spices provides antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits, making it a flavorful yet balanced dish when consumed mindfully and in moderation.
