Step 1
Blend or pound the chilies, garlic, and shallot into a rough paste using a blender or mortar.
Step 2
Coat the chicken pieces thoroughly with the chili paste and let sit 5 minutes while you heat oil in a large skillet.
Step 3
Cook the chili-coated chicken over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until edges char and meat is cooked through, ~10 minutes.
Step 4
Stir the peanut butter and coconut milk together in a small bowl until smooth, then pour over the cooked chicken.
Step 5
Warm the lontong in the skillet alongside the chicken for 2 minutes, stirring gently to coat with sauce.
Step 6
Serve the chicken and lontong together, drizzled generously with the peanut sauce from the pan.
