I created this recipe with busy families in mind; especially those with kids who need real food that works hard for them.

Prep Time 10 mins Cook Time 10 mins Total Time 20 mins Difficulty: Beginner Servings: 4

Ingredients

Servings

For the satay sauce

• 3 tbsp crunchy peanut butter

• 1 tbsp hot chilli sauce
• 150 ml coconut milk

• 1 lime, juiced
• 2 tsp fish sauce
• 1 tsp soy sauce

• 1 tsp soft brown sugar

For the wraps

• 4 skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin slices
• 8 tortilla wraps
• 150 g beansprouts
• 2 gem lettuces
• 4 spring onions, finely chopped
• Handful green beans
• 2 carrots, grated or cut into thin strips
• 25 g fresh coriander, roughly chopped
• 2-3 freshgreen chillis, finely chopped

To serve (optional extras!)

• Chopped peanuts
• Lime juice
• Sweet chilli sauce

Method

1. Remove the seeds from the cardamom pods and crush them in a pestle and mortar or spice grinder. Using a blender, add 200g of the yoghurt, the garlic, ginger, lemon rind, cardamom, cumin, chilli seeds, salt and black pepper and blend until you have a smooth paste.

1. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the chicken and stir so it is coated with the sauce. If time, leave to marinade for 30 minutes or so. Lay the chicken out on a grill pan.
2. Heat the grill and grill the chicken for 3-4 minutes each side, or until just cooked and golden brown (don’t overcook, you don’t want rubber chicken…). Transfer to a serving dish.
3. Meanwhile prepare the salad vegetables, coriander and chillis and arrange in separate piles on a large plate.
4. Heat the wraps according to the instructions on the pack.

5. Place the chicken, vegetables, wraps and any extras in the centre of the table for each person to assemble themselves. Or alternatively, prepare the wraps, roll each one up and enclose tightly in a piece of tin foil for your lunchboxes.
