Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 4 pieces Shallots
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Red chili peppers
- 3 pieces Kaffir lime leaves
- 1 stalk Lemongrass
- 1 inch Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 300 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breast in a pot and cover with 300 ml of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and poach for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Step 2
Remove the chicken from the pot, let it cool slightly, then shred it using two forks and set aside.
Step 3
In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant and golden brown.
Step 4
Add sliced red chili peppers, thinly sliced ginger, turmeric powder, and crushed lemongrass (discarding the hard ends) to the pan. Stir fry the spices for about 3 minutes to release their aromas.
Step 5
Add the kaffir lime leaves, tearing them slightly to release their scent, followed by the shredded chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken with the spice mixture.
Step 6
Season the chicken with salt and black pepper, ensuring even distribution. Continue to stir fry the mixture for an additional 5-7 minutes on medium heat.
Step 7
Finally, drizzle lime juice over the chicken and toss everything well for a balanced flavor.
Step 8
Serve hot with a side of keto-friendly vegetables or cauliflower rice.
