Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup sweet Thai chili sauce
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons natural peanut butter
1 inch piece fresh ginger peeled and grated
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 bell peppers, stemmed and chopped
1 medium bunch of broccoli, separated into florets
2 handfuls snow peas
2 carrots, sliced
1/2 white onion, chopped
2 tablespoons oil
Lime wheels, to top
1/4 cup unsalted peanuts, chopped
Fresh cilantro and/or thai basil, to serve
Basmati rice, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Season the chicken breast pieces generously with salt and pepper and place in a large, sealable plastic bag.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sweet Thai chili sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, peanut butter, ginger, and garlic. Pour enough to cover the chicken into the sealable plastic bag. Close, shake around, and allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and place the chicken on a large nonstick baking sheet. Brush the chicken with additional marinade, if desired.
  • In a separate large bowl, toss the bell peppers, broccoli, snow peas, carrots, and onion with the oil and about 1/3 cup's worth of the chicken marinade. Season with salt and pepper. Lay the vegetables around the chicken and top with lime wheels. Discard all of the remaining marinade that has touched raw chicken.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Drizzle the chicken and vegetables with additional marinade, if desired, sprinkle the chicken with the crushed peanuts, and broil to further crisp the vegetables and toast the peanuts, about 2 minutes.
  • Top with cilantro and/or thai basil, and serve over basmati rice with additional sauce, if desired.

THAI PEANUT CHICKEN

This is a very tasty Asian-inspired dish made with chicken and broccoli in a spicy peanut sauce. If you like it mild, use less cayenne, like it spicy, use more. If you're salt conscious, use low sodium soy sauce.
