Hey! Satay!

I absolutely love satay, I always order it if I have Chinese but oh my god the calories 🙈So here is my healthier version that contains around 600 kcal, which is about the calories I aim for in my main evening meal 😊

Ingredients:-

• 4 chicken breasts
• 1 onion
• 2 peppers
• 60g mushrooms
• 300g rice

Sauce:-

• 60g peanut butter
• 1 can reduced fat coconut milk
• 20g xylitol (or alternative sweetener)
• 10ml soy sauce
• 1tbs tumeric
• 1tbs curry powder (choose whichever heat you want)

Method:

1. Cook the rice as per the packet instructions (I use a rice cooker)
2. Fry the chicken until cooked, then add the onion, peppers and mushrooms and fry until tender.
3. In a pan, add the coconut milk, and the rest of the ingredients to make the sauce. Mix and simmer on a medium heat until hot.
4. Add the chicken and veg into the sauce and stir.
5. Serve the sauce with the rice.
6. Enjoy 🙂

The Health Benefits

Peanut butter is a great source of protein, and contains a lot of vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant. It also contains a lot of monounsaturated fats (the good fats!).
Coconut milk is a great source of iron, magnesium and zinc, but I use the reduced fat option because it is lower in calories. The choice is completely up to you, just remember to take into consideration how much calories you are aiming to consume in a day.
Chicken is a great source of protein, and B-vitamins which have a range of important roles in the body such as the manufacture of DNA and proteins, metabolism of fats, carbs and proteins, and help protect against infection.
Brown rice is a great source of carbohydrate, and contains a lot of dietary fibre, which keeps the digestive system moving and healthy.

Why not try substituting the chicken with tofu to make this recipe vegetarian? It makes a great alternative to meat.
