While we're still in the early months of 2025, what better recipe to share than this light Chicken Satay Salad. It's perfect as a fakeaway as well as perfect in those summer months too.

Let's get cooking!

Ingredients:

1 tbsp tamari

1 tsp medium curry powder

1/4 tsp ground cumin

1 garlic clove, finely grated

1 tsp clear honey

2 skinless chicken breast fillets

1 tbsp crunchy peanut butter

1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

1 tbsp lime juice

Sunflower oil

2 little gem lettuce, cut into wedges

1/4 cucumber, halved and sliced

1 banana shallot, halved and thinly sliced

coriander, chopped

Pomegranate seeds

In a large bowl, pour in the tamari. Then stir in the curry powder, cumin, garlic and honey. Mix together.

Slice the chicken in half horizontally to make 4 fillets.

Add the chicken to the marinade and mix well to coat. Set this aside in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or overnight, to allow the flavours to penetrate the chicken.

Mix the peanut butter, with the chilli sauce, lime juice, and 1 tbsp water to make a spoonable sauce.

When ready, wipe a large non-stick frying pan with sunflower oil. Add the chicken and cook, covered with a lid, for 5-6 minutes on a medium heat. Turn the fillets over for the final minute, until cooked but still moist. Set aside, covered, to rest for a few minutes.

While the chicken rests, toss the lettuce wedges with the cucumber, shallot, coriander and pomegranate, and pile onto plates.

Spoon over a little sauce.

Slice the chicken, pile on top of the salad  and spoon over the remaining sauce.

Enjoy while the chicken is still warm.

This was really nice and really easy and simple to make. I didn't add some of the ingredients, but I definitely want to give this dish another go and add the ingredients I didn't the first time round.

I think I'd make a little more for the satay dressing as I don't think it made quite enough, but it still worked really well with all the ingredients.
