About Sambal chicken

Sambal Chicken is a flavorful dish originating from Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly Indonesia and Malaysia. This spicy delight features tender chicken pieces cooked in a tangy, aromatic sambal sauce, made from chili peppers, garlic, shallots, lime juice, and a touch of shrimp paste. Bursting with bold flavors, Sambal Chicken is well-loved for its heat and depth, often served alongside steamed rice or fresh vegetables. Nutritionally, Sambal Chicken provides lean protein from the chicken, supporting muscle growth and repair. The chili peppers in the sambal sauce are a source of capsaicin, which may aid metabolism and heart health. Garlic and lime juice also offer antioxidants and vitamin C. However, the dish can be high in sodium due to shrimp paste and added seasonings. Moderation and pairing with fiber-rich sides can balance this indulgent dish for a healthier meal experience.
