Ingredients
FOR THE SALAD
- 450 g mini chicken breasts 1 pound
- 1 gem lettuce (or half a romaine lettuce)
- 1 carrot , grated
- 1 tbsp Coriander cilantro), chopped, fresh
- 1 tbsp mint chopped, fresh
- vegetable oil or Fry light, for frying chicken
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
- gem lettuce extra, if serving as an appetizer
SATAY DIPPING SAUCE
- 1 tbsp peanut butter or 2 tbsp powdered peanut butter (see notes, crunchy
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or Gluten-Free Tamari
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 1 tbsp ginger freshly grated
- lime juice of 1
- 1 tsp chili paste or hot sauce such as Sriracha
- 2 tsp granulated sweetener or brown sugar
- 4 tbsp water boiling, to dilute the sauce
PICKLED ONIONS
- 1 red onion very finely sliced
- 4 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tsp granulated sweetener or sugar
Instructions
- Start by making the pickled onions (these are optional). Mix the vinegar and sweetener in a clean jar and add one very finely sliced red onion. I used a mandoline to get the onion slices really thin. Set aside while you make the salad.
- Put all the ingredients for the dipping sauce into a bowl and mix together until smooth.
- Heat a non stick frying pan and add a couple of Fry Light sprays or a little vegetable oil. Pan fry the chicken breasts over high heat, on both sides, until nicely coloured.
- Reduce the heat and add a splash of water or a little stock, cover the pan and leave them to cook for 5-6 minutes or until cooked through.
- Shred the chicken using two forks and put into a bowl.
- Add the lettuce, carrot and herbs and mix together. Add the sauce and toss to combine.
- Sprinkle with the sesame seeds, if using.
- Serve as a lunch / light dinner or serve in lettuce leaves as a shared appetizer with the pickled onions on the side.
Notes
- If you can't find mini chicken breasts, use 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts. Pound them between two pieces of clingfilm until thin and slice in half to speed up the cooking.
- To make the salad stretch further add 100g (3 1/2 oz) soba noodles, cooked for 5 minutes then drained.
- If you can't find Fry Light then heat 1 tsp vegetable oil then wipe the pan until almost all the oil is gone.
- You can also use powdered peanut butter to reduce the calories in this satay sauce.
