IS CHICKEN SATAY HEALTHY?

Chicken satay is a popular Southeast Asian dish. The chicken is marinated in spices and it’s often served on skewers with a peanut sauce or a spicy dipping sauce.

If you order chicken satay as take-out, the nutritional value can vary. The marinade at a restaurant might be high in oil, sugar and sodium. That’s why this Weight Watchers chicken satay is such a good choice to make at home! 

Chicken is a good source of protein, and this healthy chicken satay recipe is baked in the oven with lots of healthy vegetables and a minimum amount of oil. 

Sticking to a diet can be hard to do, especially if you eat the same thing day in and day out. What I love about Weight Watchers is that there are so many recipes I can choose from that allow me to stick to my diet. Thai chicken satay definitely fits this category!
