The great thing about this satay is you can use any cut of meat. Breast, thigh or even drumsticks if they’re on sale. Pop it in the cooker with all the grated veg that go soft and ragu like because you’ve cooked them with the sauce.
My kids love this with rice or noodles. I love it on a bed of broccoli rice with homemade flatbreads on the side.
If you like Healthy Slow Cooker Meals, you’re going to love this quick take on a Peanut Satay. For me, slow cookers are my ticket to keeping organised and healthy in winter. This satay is packed full of veg and is so simple to make, you don’t even have to cut the chicken.
Total Time:6 hours 10 minutes
Ingredients
UnitsScale
- Satay
5 chicken thighs (500g)
1 large onion (diced)
1 red capsicum (finely diced)
3 garlic cloves (minced)
5 cm fresh ginger (grated)
1 large carrot (grated)
1 handful baby spinach
1/3cupcrunchy peanut butter
3 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp sugar of your choice
1cupbone broth (stock or water)
200mlcoconut milk
S & P
- Cauliflower rice
1 small cauliflower head
1/4cupbroth
2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Brown the onion, capsicum, garlic and ginger in a little coconut oil. If you’re trying to hide the carrot and spinach from the fussy ones, add that in now so it has time to cook down.
Add in all your sauces, including the broth and coconut milk. Stir to make sure all the chunks are gone and then pop your veggies (if they aren’t in already) and chicken in. Cover and let cook.
When the chicken is done, (it won’t be pink in the middle anymore) pull it out and shred it before adding back the pan/cooker.
To make the cauliflower rice: break the cauliflower head apart and pulse in your food processor until it looks like rice. Or, you can grate it if you find that easier. Lightly cook in a hot pan with the oil and broth (add it slowly, you may not need it all) stirring constantly until the cauliflower is just soft – about 1 minute. Serve with generous spoonfuls of the satay and any extra veg you may feel like on the side.
Notes
Use up your leftover satay on top of a pizza. I often buy flatbreads and just pop it on top with a few extra veg and a generous sprinkle of cheese. It’s the yummiest way to eat up leftover satay.
Allergy Tweaks
Peanut-free: Use macadamia or cashew butter
Vegetarian: Use 3 – 4 cups of veg. I love it with broccoli, carrots, pumpkin and lots of sugar snaps.
