Notes
If there’s one food that’s guaranteed to get kids and adults licking their lips, it’s chicken nibbles. This version takes inspiration from smokey, seared satay which I absolutely adore. Serve with rice and Asian greens or simply enjoy as is for a tasty bite with a cold drink. Feel free to omit the fresh chilli if you or your guests aren’t sold on too much spice.
Good peanut butter is the key to creating this dish, so be sure to check out my top tips below.
When choosing your perfect peanut butter, look for a brand like Pic’s, which contains high-oleic peanuts (they stay fresher for longer) and just a pinch of salt, if that’s the way you like it.
Good-quality peanut butter is high in healthy fats and energy and is beneficial for heart and digestive health. The high oleic content is also a great source of protein, fibre and vitamin E. Just 2 Tbsp each day of Pic’s peanut butter will provide a woman with around 20 percent and a man with around 29 percent of their daily vitamin E needs, which helps to slow down the effects of ageing and inflammation by minimising free-radical damage within the body.
