Megan McIntosh - "I train a lot and eat healthy so this dish reminds me of having a takeaway! Being much healthier than a chicken satay from the Chinese, this recipe allows me to indulge in something very tasty when I fancy a treat. I love the nutty taste and texture from the peanut sauce and the combination of all the elements of the dish in a little parcel is simply amazing!"
