"If people take the trouble to cook, you should take the trouble to eat."
-Robert Morley, Playwright
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.
This is another essential kitchen tool. There are so many uses for a griddle making pancakes and French toast, for example. When making a recipe like the Black Bean Cakes or Risotto Cakes using a light spray of olive oil will help them brown and crisp properly.
There was a time when only pans of lesser quality were made with non-stick coatings but now most of the better manufacturers make excellent quality non-stick products. That said, you dont have to spend a lot of money on a griddle. The griddle that I use is an inexpensive one that I bought at Kmart that I have used for over 5 years. It cost all of $14.00.

Serve with Thai Cucumber Salad
4 | skewers |
1 tsp | sugar |
1/4 tsp | salt |
1 Tbsp | curry powder |
1/2 cup | light coconut milk |
fresh ground black pepper (to taste) | |
1 lb | boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into 4 4-ounce strips) |
spray oil |
If using wooden skewers, place them in a large dish with water to soak 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.
