Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Chicken Breasts (about 500 g), boneless and skinless
  • 2 cups Cooked Quinoa or Brown Rice
  • 1 large Carrot, julienned
  • 1 medium Cucumber, sliced
  • 1 cup Red Cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup Edamame, shelled and cooked
  • 2 cups Baby Spinach or Mixed Greens
  • 2 tablespoons Roasted Peanuts, chopped
  • Fresh Coriander Leaves, for garnish

For Satay Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup
  • 1/3 cup Coconut Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili Flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a nonstick or grill pan over medium heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of oil. Cook for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Slice into strips.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, honey, coconut milk, and chili flakes until smooth and creamy.
  3. Cook quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions and fluff with a fork.
  4. Prepare vegetables by julienning carrots, slicing cucumber, shredding cabbage, and blanching edamame if needed.
  5. Assemble bowls with a base of quinoa or rice. Arrange chicken, carrots, cucumber, cabbage, edamame, and spinach around the bowl.
  6. Drizzle satay sauce generously over the top. Sprinkle with roasted peanuts and coriander leaves.
  7. Serve immediately while chicken is warm and veggies are fresh.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken briefly for deeper flavor.
  • Don’t skip the lime juice—it balances the richness of the sauce.
  • Double the satay sauce; it makes a great dip or salad dressing.
  • Store components separately and assemble just before serving.
