Ingredients
- 600 grams chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 stalk lemongrass stalk
- 4 medium shallots
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 inch ginger
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 medium red chili pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breast in a pot and add enough water to fully cover it. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 2
While the chicken is cooking, finely slice the red bell pepper, chop the lemongrass (using only the tender inner parts), peel and mince the shallots, mince the garlic cloves, and grate the ginger.
Step 3
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the pot and let it cool slightly before shredding it using two forks.
Step 4
In a large pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass, sautéing for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the red bell pepper and red chili pepper to the pan, stirring occasionally for another 3 minutes until slightly softened.
Step 6
Stir in the turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper, cooking for 1 minute to release the flavors.
Step 7
Add the shredded chicken to the pan, mixing well to coat the chicken with the spices and vegetables.
Step 8
Pour in the coconut aminos and lime juice, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 4 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Step 9
Remove from heat and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Paleo Ayam Suwir!
