Step 1

Boil a full kettle

Step 2

Heat a large wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) adding 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] vegetable oil over the highest heat

Step 3

Roughly chop the courgette[s] into batons

Step 4

Deseed the red pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and slice into strips

Step 5

Once hot, add the chopped courgette, sliced peppers and diced chicken to the pan and cook for 5-6 min or until cooked through and tender

Step 6

Note: Please make sure you cook your chicken thoroughly (until there’s no pink meat and it’s piping hot!) as cooking equipment varies

Step 7

Meanwhile, add the wholewheat noodles to a pot and cover with boiled water until fully submerged

Step 8

Bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 5 min until tender with a slight bite, reserve a cup of starchy noodle water, then drain and return them to the pot

Step 9

While the noodles are cooking, combine the peanut butter, chilli jam and 50ml [100ml] boiled water in a small bowl

Step 10

Add the soy sauce and the juice of 1/2 [1] lime and stir it all together – this is your satay sauce

Step 11

Cut the remaining lime into 2 [4] wedges

Step 12

Slice the spring onion[s]

Step 13

Once everything is cooked, add the drained noodles to pan with the chicken and vegetables

Step 14

Add the satay sauce and a splash of starchy noodle water and give everything a good mix up

Step 15

Remove from the heat and stir through the toasted sesame oil – this is your nutty chicken noodles

Step 16

Set the nutty chicken noodles in the centre of the table, ready to share

Step 17

Garnish with sliced spring onion and lime wedges and let everyone dig in
