Supper Club: Chicken with spring onions in satay sauce

An absolute belter of a dish, this Dale Pinnock recipe has a divine richness. If you have fussy eaters in the house, it can be gold dust.

Chicken with spring onions in satay sauce
Serves 4

Prep: 15 minutes
Cook:
30 minutes
Calories:
282

Ingredients

  • olive oil
  • 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 red onion, halved and sliced lengthways
  • 4 skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 3 large spring onions, sliced
  • 3 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
  • 2 tsp clear honey
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • small handful of coriander leaves, roughly chopped (optional)
  • salt
  • brown rice or wilted greens, to serve


Method

  1. Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the garlic and red onion slices along with a good pinch of salt for 3-4 minutes until the onion has started to soften. Add the diced chicken breasts and cook for a further 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the spring onions and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  2. Whisk together the peanut butter, five-spice powder, honey and soy sauce with a splash of water in a bowl. Add to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. At this stage, cut into the largest chunk of chicken and ensure it is cooked through. Sprinkle over the chopped coriander, if using, and serve with brown rice or some wilted greens.

Nutrition nugget: Many people are scared of ingredients like peanut butter because they have such a high fat content. From now on, I want you to think of natural high-quality fats as your friend, as they are vital to our health. Sure, the wrong types of fat are very bad indeed, and I cover that in the opening chapters, but good fats provide the building blocks for hormones, can keep you feeling fuller for longer and stabilise blood sugar. It’s clear that we are way off base as a nation when it comes to nutrition, so it’s time to rethink what we’ve been previously taught.
