Thai Chicken Satay gets a healthy spin with zucchini and carrot noodles covered in a flavorful peanut sauce.
I love eating Thai Chicken Satay, and in Thailand we ate this almost everyday since it's a widely popular street food. You really can't go wrong with meat on a stick.
I'm using the same marinade and recipe as my Thai Chicken Satay, just without skewering the chicken. This saved some time and I was able to cook the chicken thighs whole and slice them up afterwards.
While I love eating noodles, I also enjoy swapping them out for spiralized veggie noodles for a low carb meal. It's even more convenient with stores selling pre spiralized veggies either fresh or frozen.
This is great to save more time or if you haven't invested in a spiralizer, which I highly recommend getting if you enjoy zoodles.
The part that puts this Chicken Satay Zoodle bowl over the top, is a creamy peanut sauce. I will say this sauce is not low in calories and fat, because both coconut milk and peanut butter are high in fat.
This peanut sauce definitely brings the dish together. You're already cutting calories by using zoodles instead of rice noodles, so the peanut sauce balances it out.
