• Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

• Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir bell pepper, water chestnuts, broccoli, carrots, and onion until just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove vegetables from skillet and keep warm.
• Remove chicken from marinade, reserving liquid. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken until slightly pink on the inside, about 2 minutes per side; return vegetables and reserved marinade to skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the middle and vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve over rice.

CHICKEN SATAY STEAKS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the lemon juice, peanut butter, tomato puree, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and garlic until smooth.
• With a meat pounder or the side of a sturdy saucer, pound the chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thick. Place the chicken breasts into the marinade, and stir to coat all the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Longer is better.
• Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet until oil is very hot. Remove chicken breasts from the marinade; discard used marinade. Pan-fry the chicken breasts in the oil until the juices run clear and the chicken is browned on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Chicken may stick to the pan due to the brown sugar and peanut butter, but it will add a slightly charred flavor.
