Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast
- 5 cloves Shallots
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 stalk (white part only) Lemongrass
- 2 nuts Candle nuts
- 2 pieces, seeded Red chilies
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 3 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar substitute
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole (juiced) Lime
- 1 can Coconut oil spray
Directions
Step 1
In a blender or food processor, combine the shallots, garlic, lemongrass, candle nuts, red chilies, turmeric powder, and coriander powder. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix the paste with low sodium soy sauce, salt, sugar substitute, black pepper, and lime juice.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts into the bowl and thoroughly coat them with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly spray the grill grates with coconut oil spray to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Place the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated grill.
Step 6
Grill each side of the chicken for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the Low Fat Ayam Bakar with a side of steamed rice and your choice of vegetables.
