This recipe is by the fitness influencer Lucy Mountain and has become a staple in my kitchen. I love peanut butter, so I am always looking for ways to incorporate it into my meals, but it works just as well with almond butter.
The quantities below serve four.
Ingredients
- 400 grams of chicken breast, diced
- 1 white onion, chopped
- 3 red bell peppers, chopped
- 200 grams of broccoli, chopped
- 1 can of chopped tomatoes
- 80 grams of crunchy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon of curry powder
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 500 grams of microwave rice
Method
1. Heat some oil or cooking spray in a large saucepan over a medium heat and cook the onion, peppers, and broccoli until softened.
2. Add the chicken to the pan and stir occasionally until cooked through.
3. Add the chopped tomatoes, peanut butter, curry powder, and soy sauce, and stir until smooth.
4. Place a lid on the pan and simmer until the sauce is thick and everything is cooked through.
5. Serve with the rice.

"Although some people shy away from using peanut butter due to the amount of calories, it's a great source of healthy unsaturated fats.
"Some brands may add salt or sugar so try to opt for 100% nut options and for low sodium soy sauce. This looks like a really balanced, tasty, and satisfying meal!"
