Serves: 2

Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 10 mins

INGREDIENTS:

  • 200g chicken breast

  • 2 large handfuls of iceberg lettuce

  • 3 tbsp white cabbage, shredded

  • ¼ cucumber, deseeded and diced

  • ¼ carrot, grated

  • 2 spring onions, finely sliced

  • 4 tbsp edamame beans

  • 1 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, chopped

  • Salt and pepper

  • Low calorie oil spray

To make the dressing you will need:

  • 15g smooth peanut butter

  • ½ tbsp light soy sauce

  • ½ tbsp dark soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp light sweet chilli sauce

  • ½ tsp sesame oil

  • ½ tsp rice wine vinegar

  • 1 tbsp lime juice

  • 1 tbsp cold water

For the toppings you will need:

  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

  • 1 tsp crispy onions

METHOD:

  1. Add all of the ingredients for the satay dressing to a bowl and whisk until combined, add a little more water if needed to make a sauce consistency.

  2. Place chicken breast on to a chopping board and cover with cling film. Gently flatten using a rolling pin or meat tenderiser until the chicken is a similar width all the way through. This helps the chicken cook evenly. Season chicken breast with salt and pepper.

  3. Heat a frying pan with low calorie oil spray and fry on each side for 3-4 minutes until cooked through (no pink meat!). Slice ready to serve.

  4. Whilst the chicken cooks, add lettuce, cabbage, cucumber, carrot, spring onions, edamame to a bowl and toss well.

  5. Plate up and top with sliced chicken. Drizzle over the delicious satay sauce and a sprinkling of sesame seeds, crispy onions and coriander.

Food prep tip - store in the fridge for up to 3 days and keep sauce separate until serving to prevent the salad going soggy.
