Thai Peanut Chicken & Sweet Potato Noodle Stir Fry

Satay chicken is a favorite of mine. In fact, it was a staple dinner of mine growing up. My mum would make boiled white rice topped with either store bought packaged sauce or homemade DIY thick peanut satay sauce made with peanut butter, oil and soy sauce too. So when it came to moving into my own house & recreating the recipe, I knew I had to clean it up a little, especially because nut butter can be so high in calories.

Keeping the original texture and flavorful taste was important to me, but with a few easy swaps, I managed to make that happen. I reduced the sodium count by swapping soy sauce for liquid aminos and subbed peanut butter for PB2/ powdered peanut butter to reduce the fat content and loaded calories.

The best part? You can totally make the sauce ahead of time and store it in your fridge for future meals or meal prep.

5. Add chicken and cook until they change color.
