High-protein Pad Krapow Chicken/Turkey 🌶️
This is one of my favourite quick midweek meals when I want something packed with flavour but still high in protein and relatively balanced.
I’ve swapped the traditional pork for lean chicken or turkey mince, kept all the garlic, chilli and basil, and used soy sauce, stock and a little honey for that salty-sweet flavour. I add marmite instead of fish sauce.
It’s simple, filling and easy to adapt depending on what you have in the fridge. I often add green beans, peppers or broccoli for extra fibre and veg too.
Method:
1. Heat a small drizzle of olive oil in a wok or frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for around 3 minutes. Add the chillies and cook for another minute.
2. Turn the heat up high and add the chicken or turkey mince, breaking it up and letting it brown and crisp slightly.
3. Add the honey, soy sauce and fish sauce or marmite. Stir well.
4. Pour in the chicken stock and let it bubble away for a minute or two.
5. Stir through the Thai basil until wilted.
6. Serve with brown rice and any extra veg you fancy.
Approx. 58g protein per serving.
