Baked Thai Peanut Chicken
Description
This Baked Thai Peanut Chicken recipe combines boneless skinless chicken thighs coated in a sauce made from coconut milk, smooth peanut butter, low-sodium soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, lime juice, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger. The ingredients create a creamy, savory, slightly sweet peanut sauce with citrus and umami notes.
The chicken is placed smooth side down in a baking dish and covered with the peanut sauce before baking at 375°F for 30-35 minutes, until fully cooked to 165°F internally. The cooking process allows the chicken to become tender while absorbing the sauce flavors.
Fresh cilantro is sprinkled as garnish to add a fresh herbal contrast. This dish can be served on its own or alongside rice or steamed vegetables to complement the rich sauce.
