This Nutrient-Packed Asian Chicken Dish Will Get Your Week Off To A Fantastic Start

Ingredients

1 Chicken breast (cut into thin strips)
1 Medium courgette (cut into ribbons)
1 Medium carrot (grated)
¼ Small head white cabbage (shredded or finely chopped)
Handful of baby spinach
2 Scallions – finely chopped
1 Red chilli – finely chopped (taste before throwing in seeds and all, as heat can vary massively)
3 Dessert spoons soya sauce (use gluten free when available)
2 Dessert spoons walnut oil
1 Dessert spoon sesame oil
Toasted nuts and seeds to garnish

This is a super recipe for those evenings you get in a little early and have 15 minutes to make dinner - it's low in carbs, packed full of goodness and really tasty.

The key to this recipe is getting everything ready before you start and cutting everything small so it all cooks quickly. Prep will take 7-8 minutes, and it's worth investing in a mandolin (vegetable slicer) to be even quicker.

Once you have everything lined up with a big, hot, non-stick pan ready to go, this fresh and healthy dinner takes 3 minutes to cook. If you want to make a bigger batch, this recipe multiplies very well but you will need a big pot!

Instructions

Step 6

Add in most of your dressing followed by the spinach, scallions & chilli and toss around again until the spinach is wilted. Have a quick taste and see if you need the end of your dressing
