Skinny satay is a healthier take on the Asian classic - this one is so quick and speedy to make, you can have it on the table in 30 minutes, which makes it the perfect no-hassle dinner solution. Wholewheat noodles are much better for you than egg noodles as they're higher in fibre, so it's worth making the little swap to make your dinner that little bit healthier! We've used chicken thighs in this recipe as they're more flavoursome than the breast meat, plus they're a bit fattier (this mostly melts away during the cooking process, so don't worry) which keeps the moisture in the meat and makes them juicier! The squeeze of lime at the end really makes this recipe, so don't forget to serve it with the lime wedges.
