Malaysian Creamy Chicken Satay

OMG this recipe is so good. It takes me back 7 years to a packet mix, that used to be put out by the brand Continental!
This was of course pre Thermomix and Cuisine Companion days. !
Now I get to make my own, which is just as well because apparently they took this off the shelves some years ago ! Did you every buy this packet mix ?

This was a favourite in our house so I decided to try and replicate it, which is a little trick when there isn’t even a packet around to check the ingredients out on ! But this is pretty close to that amazing taste but without any nasties
I hope you enjoy making it ! Let me know how you go

Oh and its quite a saucy little dish, Manu would be proud ?

Ingredients

1 onion, halved
1 clove of garlic
30g olive oil
700g chicken breast, SLICED like stir fry, not too thin though !

75 g peanut butter Make in the CC – use my nut butter recipe, swap nuts for all peanuts
250g water
1 red capsicum, sliced
