Chicken Satay Salad

Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time6 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp medium curry powder
  • ΒΌ tsp ground cumin
  • 1 garlic clove finely grated (from a tube is fine)
  • 1 tsp clear honey
  • 2 large skinless chicken breast fillets cut into thin fillets
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter choose a sugar-free version with no palm oil, if possible
  • 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • sunflower oil for wiping the pan
  • 2 Little Gem lettuce hearts cut into slices
  • 1/2 cucumber peeled into strips
  • 1 large carrot peeled into strips
  • 1 avocado halved and sliced
  • fresh coriander chopped

Instructions

  • Mix the soy sauce, curry powder, cumin, garlic and honey in a dish. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 fillets in total, then add to the marinade and mix well to coat. Set aside in the fridge for at least 1 hr, or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, mix the peanut butter with the chilli sauce, lime juice, and 1 tbsp water to make a spoonable sauce.
  • When ready to cook the chicken, wipe a large non-stick frying pan with a little oil. Add the chicken and cook, covered with a lid, for 5-6 mins on a medium heat, turning the fillets over for the last min, until cooked but still moist. Set aside, covered, to rest for a few mins.
  • While the chicken rests, toss the lettuce wedges with the cucumber, carrot, avocado and coriander, and pile onto plates. Spoon over a little sauce. Slice the chicken, pile on top of the salad and spoon over the remaining sauce. Eat while the chicken is still warm.
