Satay Chicken Recipe — Alex Brown

• Aprox 400g chicken thigh fillets
• 2tbsp peanut butter (proper stuff — 100% peanuts)
• 1tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1tsp honey
• Splash of boiling water (to help melt the peanut butter / make a ‘creamy’ sauce)
• 2 spring onions
• 2 cloves garlic
• Handful of spinach (or pak choi)

Mix the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey in a small bowl.

Add a small amount of boiling water if needed (tablespoon or so at a time) to make the mixture easier to mix.

Pour over the chicken thigh fillets and leave to marinade for at least an hour. Ideally longer.

Heat around 1tbsp of sesame oil in a non-stick wok

Stir fry the chicken thigh fillets on a medium heat until cooked.

When cooked, allow the fillets to ‘catch’ slightly to give them a crispy texture and slightly charred flavour.

Throw in the spring onions and stir fry for a minute or two

Right at the end of cooking, add the handful of spinach and stir in until wilted.

Serve with rice, or on it’s own for fewer carbs.
