2. Sear the Chicken: In a large fry-pan or Dutch oven sprayed with cooking spray, sear the chicken pieces until browned on all sides. This step adds depth of flavor to the dish.

3. Saute the Aromatics: Add diced onions to the pan and saute for about 5 minutes until translucent and lightly caramelized. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Add Curry Paste and Spices: Incorporate curry paste and ground coriander into the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are aromatic and well integrated.

5. Combine Remaining Ingredients: Return the seared chicken pieces to the pot. Add chicken broth, coconut milk, peanut butter, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, and salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

6. Simmer the Stew: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and simmer for approximately 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together and the chicken to become tender.

7. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix water and cornstarch until the cornstarch is dissolved. Stir this mixture into the pot and let it simmer uncovered until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

8. Serve and Garnish: Serve the Thai Chicken Satay over rice, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro and cashews for added texture and flavor.

9. Enjoy! This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh, accompanied by sides like jasmine rice and a crisp Thai salad to complement its rich flavors.
