Chicken Satay

Ingredients

1 tsp. Sugar
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 Tbsp. Curry powder
1/2 cup Lite Coconut Milk
16 ounces Boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into 4 4-ounce strips)
1 100 grams Spray olive oil

Instructions

You will need 4 skewers for this dish. If using wooden skewers, place them in a large dish with water to soak for a few minutes before adding the chicken so that they don't burn while cooking.

Place the sugar, salt, curry powder, coconut milk, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.

Thread the chicken slices onto the skewers. Put the chicken in the bottom of a large enough dish to allow them to all lay flat (I used a rectangular Pyrex dish). Top with the satay marinade. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (overnight is best but a half hour or so will do). Place a non-stick griddle on the range over medium high heat. Spray lightly with oil and place the skewered chicken on the griddle.

Cook on each side about 8 - 10 minutes, until cooked through. After each turn of the chicken baste with a little of the remaining marinade.

Serve the chicken over Coconut Rice and top with Thai Peanut Sauce.

Thai Cucumber Salad

Combine the rice vinegar, lime zest, Tabasco Z-sweet, red onion, cucumber slices, and cilantro leaves in a glass or stainless steel bowl. You can add the peanuts now and let them marinate. They will be slightly chewy, but I prefer to sprinkle them over the top of the salad right…

Recipe Notes

This is, quite simply, as easy as it gets for a great meal. Mix marinade – 1 minute. Marinate chicken – gotta wait a bit. Mix peanut sauce – 1 minute. Cook rice – gotta wait a bit. Cook chicken – serve.

If you’re feeling really adventurous, have the Thai Cucumber Salad with this. That’ll take a whole five minutes to prep.

In the time that it takes to drive to the local Thai restaurant you can make dinner that’s just as good and a whole lot better for you.
