Grilled Chicken with Ugu and Peanut Sauce
Lime-marinated grilled chicken thighs served over steamed ugu leaves with a warm ginger-peanut sauce.
Steamed ugu (fluted pumpkin leaves) makes a simple, mineral-rich bed for grilled chicken in this plate, and a quick ginger-peanut sauce ties it together with West African-inspired flavor. It's an easy dinner that doesn't skimp on taste.
This recipe is tagged for PCOS-friendly eating because grilled chicken thighs bring steady protein, the peanut sauce is used in a modest drizzle rather than a heavy coating, and there's no added sugar in the recipe. Serve it on its own or alongside a small portion of whole grain.
