My inspo for this recipe came from my good old trusty Coles magazine & it is going to be a new regular in my household.
It’s so refreshing & packs a massive flavour punch from the lemongrass & sweet chilli. It’s perfect for hot summer nights when you don’t want something too heavy or too hot.
I marinated the chicken a few hours earlier in the sauce & left it in the fridge, but it can be made all at once in 30 mins if you don’t have the time to prep ahead.
I put the serving size as four as I basically feed three people with how much the man in my house eats, but a good way to reduce the calories is by increasing the serving size to five or six.
Give yourself a smaller portion of noodles as they are predominantly carbs, but the rest is fine as it’s healthy veg & chicken for protein
making it a great low cal dinner option!
