Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a small bowl, a sieve & a measuring jug

Sizzle the chicken

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper
  • Cook for 11 mins, turning often, until golden

Time to noodle

  • Meanwhile, add the noodles to the saucepan and gently separate with a fork
  • Boil for 6-7 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water

Prep & cook the veg

  • Thinly slice the pak choi. Roughly chop the coriander
  • Add the pak choi, whole tomatoes, mangetout and half the coriander to the chicken pan. Cook for 3-4 mins, until the veg softens

Make the peanut satay sauce

  • In the small bowl, mix the peanut butter with 50ml hot water (25ml for 1 person) to form a smooth paste, then stir in the tamari, honey and juice from half the lime
  • Add the satay sauce and cooked noodles to the chicken pan. Simmer for 2-3 mins, until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through. Add a splash of water if it's too thick

Plate up

  • Check your chicken is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear
  • Share the chicken stir-fry between bowls. Sprinkle over the remaining coriander and garnish with the remaining lime, cut into wedges
