How To Make Sheet Pan Thai Chicken
Step One: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the chicken in a large, seal-able 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 seal-able bag with the chicken. Shake the bag and make sure to cover the chicken to marinate for 2 hours.
Step Two: 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!

FAQ'S
