🔪How To Make Sheet Pan Thai Chicken
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the chicken in a large, sealable plastic bag. In a bowl, add the sweet Thai chili sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, peanut butter, ginger, and garlic. Stir to combine. Pour ¾ of the sauce into the sealable bag with the chicken. Shake the bag and make sure to cover the chicken to marinate for 2 hours.
- Step 2: Remove the chicken from the bag and place the chicken on a parchment-covered sheet pan. In a large bowl, add the peppers, broccoli, snow peas, carrots, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and the remaining Thai peanut sauce. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper and arrange the veggies around the chicken on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender. Serve and enjoy!
👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Vegetable Preparation: Chop vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking alongside the chicken.
- Smooth Peanut Sauce: Warm the peanut butter slightly before mixing to achieve a silky, well-blended sauce for your Sheet Pan Thai Chicken.
- Proper Pan Spacing: Spread the chicken and vegetables evenly on the pan for the best roasting results without steaming.
💭 FAQs
Yes, you can marinate the chicken up to 24 hours in advance. Store the marinated chicken in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook it.
Yes, you can use frozen vegetables, but fresh vegetables will yield a better texture. If using frozen, reduce the cooking time slightly to avoid overcooking.
Yes, you can grill the marinated chicken instead of baking it. Just make sure to grill the chicken over medium heat for about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
The vegetables should be tender but still slightly crisp. You can check by piercing them with a fork—if it easily goes through, they are done.
Refrigerate in an airtight container with sauce for 3-4 days; remove lime wheels to prevent mushiness. Freeze individual portions for longer storage, but vegetable texture may change, reheat gently to avoid dryness.
