Chicken Satay Skewers

Healthy Chicken Satay

We all love a takeaway and sometimes the one click apps just make it way too easy for us to order our favourite dishes straight to the door. 

Chicken satay is one of my favourites from the Chinese but with it being full of fat and sugar it's not the healthiest dish for us serial slimmers. So I've created my own healthy, slimming world friendly version that totals a tiny 6 syns for the entire recipe.

This serves two greedy adults easy! 

Ingredients 

Skewers
2 Large chicken breasts

1 Clove of garlic crushed 

1 Tsp of chopped ginger

Few glugs of soy sauce

Red chilli (how much depends on how HOT you like it )

3 tbsp of reduced fat peanut butter

Juice of half a lime
60ml of water

Low calorie oil spray 

Salad to serve 

Chilli sauce (Optional - don't forget on average 1 Syn per tbsp)

Method 

1. Slice the chicken breast into bite sized chunks and thread onto skewers. 
2. Put the garlic, chilli and ginger into a frying pan with a little low calorie spray. Fry until slightly golden.
3. Add the peanut butter and soy sauce to the pan then reduce heat, add the water and lime juice. Leave to simmer for 5 minutes. 
4. Meanwhile drizzle some of the satay sauce over the chicken skewers and oven cook for 20 minutes (You can grill or BBQ as well!!) 
5. Set the satay sauce aside to cool in the pan while the chicken cooks.
6. When then chicken is cooked serve with salad and the remaining satay sauce in a cute Chinese dish. 

Top tip : If using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes before you put them in the oven (this will stop them burning).
