Peanut chicken

Next up in the installment of "I'm too tired to do much besides throw together a quick dinner" is peanut chicken. I wanted something that combined chicken satay and it's delicious peanut sauce, but that didn't involve grilling (because I'm too lazy to heat up the grill) or the oven. I cubed up the chicken and cooked it in some peanut sauce, and tossed in some spinach and served it over rice.
Peanut chicken

1 small onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 T oil

1 lb chicken thighs, cut off the bone and into cubes

1/2 c peanut butter (I used chunky)

1 T lemon juice

3 T soy sauce

2 T brown sugar

1 t chili flakes

1/2 c water

1 T fish sauce

1 c chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained well

Heat the oil in a medium sized pan, then add the onions and garlic. Cook until softened, then push to the side and brown the chicken. Stir together everything except the spinach in a small bowl, and then pour over the chicken mixture and cook for 10 minutes or so, until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the spinach and cook another minute or two until it's cooked through.

Serve over rice.
