Love Thai food but fancy keeping things simple? This chicken satay rice recipe ticks all the right boxes - scrummy comfort food, and easy enough to whip up any day of the week.
Start with the chicken cut into strips seasoned with salt and black pepper, then sizzle in a touch of peanut or olive oil until beautifully golden and slightly charred.

It’s the holy trinity of sweet, savoury, and spicy that makes this chicken satay and rice recipe truly unforgettable.
Serve with fluffy brown rice and - if you like a bit of crunch on top - add chopped spring onions or crushed roasted peanuts.
