Esther's Thai Satay Chicken

I happened to ask my son what are some meals he would like for dinner. He had a few suggestions that he really wanted, the first being Satay Chicken. Having not made it before, I felt the pressure on as he is a "real critic" - haha!
So I began to think of some of the ingredients and flavours that I would need and hence came up with this recipe...

 


Ingredients:

To Cook Rice:
2 Cups Basmati Rice
4 Cups water
1 tblsp Olive Oil
1 tblsp SAVEUR Kerala Fried Rice Spice

Optional to add into the rice - Mixed Fresh or Frozen vegetables (I used frozen)


To Cook chicken:
500g Chicken Breast - cut into strips
1 Tblsp SAVEUR THAI MIX
1 tblsp Olive Oil (or other oil of choice)

To Make Satay Sauce:
1 Cup Crunchy Peanut Butter
1 Can Coconut Cream
1 tblsp Sweet Chili Sauce
2 tblsp lemon juice
2 tblsp SAVEUR Satay Spice
2 tsp SAVEUR Chili Spice

  




Method:

Cook Rice:
Place a pot on stove. Add olive oil and rice.
Heat, stirring until white tips form on the rice.
Add water and SAVEUR Kerala Fried Rice Spice.
Bring to a boil, cover and simmer until cooked.
*If adding frozen vegetables, add when there is still some liquid in the pot, cover and continue to cook over low heat for few minutes.
Remove from stove, and fluff with fork.

Cook Chicken:
Mix chicken strips, oil, and SAVEUR THAI MIX.
Add to heated pan, and cook, turning regularly, until golden.
Set aside.

Cook Satay Sauce.
In a pot add Peanut butter and Coconut cream, stir well over low heat until combined. Add all of the rest of the ingredients, continuing to simmer for a few more minutes.
Place all the chicken into the Satay Sauce and stir through.

Serve Chicken over the rice.
Enjoy!

Verdict: 
My biggest critic, my one and only child absolutely loved it! Bonus - Hubby was super impressed too! I will definitely be making this again.

Preservative-free Tacos for all the family

Deciding what to cook does present it's challenges for sure! Especially when you are trying to eat Healthy and watch those carbs!
Today I have opted to cook Tacos for the family with several options we can all choose from:
* Hard Taco Shells
* Tortilla wraps
Naturally Saveur FB Group
* Low carb Tortilla wraps
* Tomatoes (recipe coming on next blog post)


MY RECIPE & OPTIONS
Serves 4-6


Ingredients:
500g Beef Mince (I used half beef, half pork)
1 medium finely chopped onion
Can crushed/diced tomatoes or 1 cup passata
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1-2 teaspoons SAVEUR TACO SPICE
pinch salt (optional)
Can red kidney beans (optional)

TACO Shells and/or Tortilla Wraps

Lettuce leaves Shredded (approx. 1 cup)
Naturally Saveur Website
Tomatoes chopped (2-3)
Grated Tasty Cheese (approx. 1 cup)
(Place salad & cheese items into small bowls and everyone can choose and make their own)


Method:
Add onion to pan, lightly sautee, add mince, continually stirring, until browned and cooked
Add salt, SAVEUR Taco Spice, and tomatoes
Reduce Heat, simmer 10 minutes - add beans and heat through.

Divide Mince Mixture between all of the Taco Shells and/or Tortilla Wraps
Top with Chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce and Grated cheese.


The family had a lot of fun putting their tacos together, and even though quite messy at times, they totally enjoyed eating them - we did have a few laughs around the dinner table.

                                                           


Stay tuned for my next Blog post later this week for my recipe and description on the most delicious Low Carb Taco Tomatoes.
