Missing my grill but still getting my Chicken Satay fix!

Chicken Satay is full of protein and delicious to boot. Normally I would do chicken skewers on the grill or even the oven but this stove top version is very good and only takes about 20 minutes to cook. Great recipe for when you're short on time. You can substitute the green beans for fresh spinach which is what I often do.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 yellow onion, sliced thinly

1 teaspoon garlic, minced

6 boneless chicken thighs or 3 large boneless chicken breasts, sliced into strips

1 tablespoon yellow curry powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

dash of salt

1 1/2 to 2 cups of satay sauce  depending on how much sauce you prefer. See recipe.

3 cups of green beans or fresh spinach

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions:

In large non-stick skillet heat up the olive oil on high heat. Add the onions and  garlic and saute. Add curry powder, cumin and chicken and brown. Add the green beans or spinach and stir, see figure 1. Turn down the heat to medium and cover. Let simmer for about 10 minutes.

Add the Satay sauce and stir. Let simmer for 5 minutes with the lid on, see figure 2. 

Sprinkle with red chili pepper flakes if desired. Serve with white rice.
