Notes

I have substituted the meat from a BBQ chicken in place of the thigh fillets and I omit the bean sprouts and serve with steamed rice. Using cooked chicken, I omit the “cook for 3 mins” step re the chicken as it is already cooked. I find the BBQ chicken gives the meal a lovely flavour and texture.

Yum! I love the look of these recipes!
I was desperately searching for a recipe I made a few weeks back that was a warm Moroccan chicken salad that had crunchy chickpeas in it. It was so delicious but I can’t find it again, I’m sure it was on your site. Does anyone remember if it was from here?

That looks so easy and delicious. Like a version of a satay sauce (my mum uses peanut butter in hers) 🙂
