Why it’s good: Chicken is one of the leanest sources of protein and you get 15g of it here for around 200 kcals. Healthy fats in the peanut butter will also help to lower bad cholesterol and protect against coronary heart disease.

How to make it: Dice the onions garlic and ginger and fry off in a pan. Cook until soft and translucent, then place in a blender and blend until fine. Slowly add the peanut butter and coconut milk. Season with tamari and lime juice. Pour half of marinade over chicken, leave to marinate for 3+ hours. Grill the chicken and seal on all sides, then finish it off in the oven at 200c for 15 minutes.
