Instructions

Preparing The Chicken

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add in sliced ginger and chicken breast. Cook for 10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Transfer the chicken onto a plate and cover it with cling film. Leave to cool completely.
Once cooled, shred the chicken into thin strands by first pressing it with your fingers and then pull the strands apart. You can also use 2 forks to shred it. Cover with a cling film and set aside.

Cooking

Roast the coriander and fennel seeds in a pan on medium heat until they release their fragrances.
Then add them into a food processor together with sweet bell peppers, garlic, ginger and red onion. Blend everything into a smooth paste.
Heat a pan with quite a bit of oil on medium heat. Add in the blended paste, cayenne pepper powder, turmeric powder and cook for a few minutes until the water evaporates.
Then add in coconut sugar, salt, coconut milk and mix well. Lastly add in shredded chicken and mix everything together.
Reduce heat to low and cook until everything is dry (or to your liking), around 40 minutes. Serve this serunding ayam with hot white rice. Enjoy!
