Introduction

I love chicken satay but don't always have time to marinate the chicken. This has become a quick and tasty substitution in our house! (I generally just throw it together and eyeball the measurements, but this should be pretty close.) I love chicken satay but don't always have time to marinate the chicken.

Tips

**Calorie calculation does not include any rice or sauce - just the seasoned chicken and onions.


Directions

Slice sweet onion to create wide slices. Cut chicken into small - bite sized pieces. While cutting, heat large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Add chicken to skillet sprayed w/ cooking spray. Heat and turn chicken until thoroughly cooked through. Drain chicken (if necessary) and respray pan, adding onions. Cook over medium heat. Add brown sugar and turn heat up to medium-high. Add garlic, curry, coriander, cayanne, and cilantro. Turn chicken and onions frequently to create crisp brown edges without burning. Once all sides are nicely browned and onions are transparent, turn off heat and add lime juice. Serve immediately.

Serving suggestion: Serve over rice with your favorite peanut sauce. (Begin cooking rice once onions and chicken are cut.)

Serving Size: Makes 4 6-oz servings.
