Thai Peanut Chicken Bake
This sauce can be used in many ways. You can use it in a stir-fry, a marinade or a sauce to spread on top like I did for this recipe. This recipe uses chicken thighs with bone in for a more juicy chicken, but you can also do chicken breasts for a leaner source of protein. The sauce also freezes well so you can make a big batch and when you want to make chicken again it’s already prepared conveniently for you.
Serve over brown rice, rice noodles, quinoa or what every you'd like, but make sure you get a serving or two of vegetables with it as well!
