1 tspturmeric

1juice of lemon

1 Tbspcoconut oil

de-seeded and finely chopped

1 ½ Tbspunsweetened peanut butter

2 handfulsbaby spinach leaves

½ Tbsplight soy sauce

1 tspsesame oil

Instructions

Step 1

Chuck the chicken into a bowl, sprinkle over the turmeric and squeeze in the lemon juice. Mix the whole lot together with a metal spoon and let it sit for a couple of minutes.

Step 2

Melt half of the coconut oil in a frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add the spring onions, garlic and chilli and stir-fry for about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat and pour in 50ml of water, quickly followed by the peanut butter.

Step 3

Gently work the peanut butter into the liquid until it is fully combined. Drop in the spinach and stir over a medium heat until the leaves are wilted. Take the pan off the heat and stir in both the soy sauce and sesame oil. Leave the spinach satay to one side.

Step 4

Melt the remaining coconut oil in a second pan over a high heat and scrape in the turmeric-stained chicken. Stir-fry for about 4 minutes, or until you are happy the chicken is fully cooked. Check by slicing into one of the larger pieces to make sure the meat is white all the way through, with no raw pink bits left.

Step 5

Serve up the delicious chicken on top of the spinach satay sauce.
