Thai Peanut Skillet Chicken

Did you guys know it is National Peanut Butter Day? There is actually a different food holiday every single day of the year. I teamed up with some of my favorite food blogger friends to bring you guys some really amazing peanut butter recipes. Everyone took a sweet tact with theirs, so I thought I would mix things up and offer a main course, savory meal option to go with all their mouthwatering desserts!

Thai peanut skillet chicken

You guys, sometimes I just need a quick and easy weeknight meal that looks all kinds of impressive, but is super duper easy. You know what I am talking about, those secret ace up the sleeve meals that are no work, cheap, and easy, but that make you look like you slaved away? This is one of those.

Serve with Santa Fe Salad and How to Build the Perfect Root Beer Float! for a complete meal.

This particular recipe is delicious, and so easy to make. The toughest part is mixing up the sauce, and while that is ridiculously easy to do, I sometimes make a big huge batch and split it out and freeze it so that even that only has to be done on occasion. It just makes a Wednesday night meal between this practice and that practice easier. Ya know?

While we love a good Thai Peanut Skillet Chicken Skillet Greek Chicken is also good too.

What you need to make Thai Peanut Skillet Chicken

Anyway, then you just crisp up the outside of your chicken in a skillet with some butter, and then spoon the sauce over the top and pop it in the oven to bake. Literally 5 minutes of your time required. That is it. LOVE IT!

After you bake it, pop it in to broil for a minute or so to caramelize the sauce and crisp it up! Yummmy. Then top with some fresh cilantro (optional), and crushed up peanuts, and you have yourself an amazing meal. I love to serve this with rice and green beans.

So here is the recipe, but don’t forget all the tasty, sweet treats to wash it down with after. I know I am going to try ALL of them, and buy new jeans after.

    Can you believe I've never cooked chicken thighs? This looks like the recipe I need to start with! Also my husband usually comes home to a house smelling of sweets, oops! I need to be better at making dinner on time ;)
