  • ¼ cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp GF mild sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • ½ cup water
  • 550g chicken thighs

  • ½ telegraph cucumber
  • 2 tomatoes

Steps

  1. Cook rice Preheat BBQ hot plate to medium-high (if using). Combine rice, water and a pinch of salt in a medium pot and bring to the boil. Once boiling, cover with a lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and steam, covered, for 8 more minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. Make satay sauce Using the same pot, combine all satay sauce ingredients (except chicken). Bring to a simmer and mix until smooth. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 7 minutes, until sauce has thickened slightly, stirring often.
  3. Cook chicken Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Pat chicken dry and season with salt. Cook for 4-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness), or until golden and cooked through. Alternatively, do this on the BBQ. Remove chicken from pan and rest for 3 minutes. Dice 2-3cm.
  4. Prep veggies Thinly slice lettuce; peel carrot into ribbons; cut cucumber in half lengthways, then thinly slice; dice tomatoes 2cm.
  5. Serve rice topped with chicken and satay sauce, then place veggies on the side.
