Spicy Indonesian Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into chunks
  • 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon red chile paste
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
Instructions
1
Boil the water in a large pot, then add the rice to it. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, before gradually reducing the heat to a low simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
2
Place the green beans in a separate pot that has been fitted with a steamer basket, and position it over the boiling water. Allow the green beans to steam for 10 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
3
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken for 5 minutes on each side. Check that the juices run clear before removing the chicken from the skillet.
4
In a separate saucepan, combine the chicken broth, peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, chile paste, and lemon juice. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture has thickened slightly. Stir in the cooked green beans.
5
Serve the chicken and sauce over a bed of cooked rice, garnished with chopped green onions and peanuts.
