Side note: Thai chicken can be served on rice, quinoa or couscous. This will alter the nutritional information.
Success tip: The flavors of peanut butter, tomato and hot chilies are a popular Thai combination. We took a shortcut and used hot salsa for the tomatoes and chilies. For an equally tasty dish with a little less kick, use a milder salsa.
Ingredient Substitution: Â If you have fish sauce in your pantry, you can replace the soy sauce in this recipe with fish sauce for a more authentic Thai flavor.
