Chicken with satay sauce and noodle salad

When I try I new recipe, I often love it the first couple of times I do it but after a while I get bored with it and never do it again. That is certainly not the case with this one and that's why I want to share it with everyone! I found this chicken satay and noodle salad recipe in a Jamie Oliver cooking book and I can't get enough of it!

Ingredients and steps:

Satay sauce:

- coriander
- 1 red pepper
- 1/2 a garlic clove
- 3 full tbsp peanut butter
- soy sauce
- about 2 cm ginger piece
- 1 lemon - the zest and the juice

Put the coriander, red pepper, garlic, peanut butter and the soy sauce in a food processor. Add the peeled ginger, the zest of the lemon and the lemon juice. Add a bit of water and purée the ingredients till you get a nice paste.

Put half of the satay sauce in a nice bowl. We will be using the rest to marinate the chicken.

Chicken:

- about 2 to 4 chicken fillets

Put the rest of the satay sauce in a baking dish, put the chicken on top and mix well. Drizzle some olive oil and salt over the chicken. Place the baking dish in the oven under a hot grill for about 12 minutes. Turn the chicken half way.

Noodle salad:

- 250 gr noodles
- 1/2 a red onion, chopped
- 1/2 a hot red pepper (or more if you like it hot!)
- about 4 tbsp coriander
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 lemon
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp fish sauce

Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Add all the ingredients. Note: sesame oil has a very distinctive taste; it really adds a special touch to dishes but be careful not to put to much!
