Seared, smothered in the yummiest Thai-inspired peanut sauce, and then baked to perfection, these peanut butter chicken thighs are the easiest, most delicious dinnertime protein option.
0 Preheat the oven to 375°F.
1 Make the peanut sauce: add the peanut butter, coconut aminos (or soy sauce), lime juice, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to a bowl or individual blender cup. Stir (or blend) until smooth and creamy.
2 Add the olive oil or ghee to an oven-safe pan over medium-high heat, and season the chicken thighs on both sides with sea salt.
3 Once the pan is hot, add the chicken thighs and sear for 3-4 minutes per side. Once seared, pour the peanut sauce over the chicken thighs and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
4 Garnish with crushed peanuts, fresh cilantro, and enjoy!
