What does one make with a fresh batch of Thai Peanut Sauce? Why, Thai Chicken Tacos, of course!!

Ok, ok, I admit that I was initially planning on making a Thai chicken pizza. But the idea occurred to me to skip the step of making the dough and waiting for it to rise (keyword: waiting), and instead just layer the ingredients into some tortillas and call it good!

And holy smokes, were these good!!!

All of the classic Thai chicken pizza flavors came together perfectly in these tacos. I loved the zesty chicken, fresh cabbage, bean sprouts, cilantro and lime juice paired with the lightness of the fresh tortillas. But of course, if I’m going to be honest, the peanut sauce is what really stole the show. I’ve decided that peanut sauce is pretty much the “Nutella” of the savory world for me…it always turns each dish into a winner. So good!

But perhaps the best part of these Thai chicken tacos that they literally took less than 15 minutes to make. Just saute up the chicken, add the fixin’s, drizzle with peanut sauce and sprinkle with lime juice, and these are on the table and ready to be inhaled enjoyed in no time. :)

Easy. Peasy.

(I wonder how you say that in Thai?)

Description

Thai Chicken Tacos are filled with flavor, and a breeze to make!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 Tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 46 small tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 1/2 cup Thai peanut sauce, homemade or storebought
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl or a Ziplock bag, toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with the rice vinegar and soy sauce until evenly coated. Let marinate for anywhere from 15 minutes to 4 hours.
  2. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade with a slotted spoon, and add to pan. Season immediately with salt and pepper. Saute for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
  3. Lay out tortillas on a work surface. Portion out the shredded cabbage, bean sprouts and cooked chicken into the center of each tortilla. Drizzle the chicken in each tortilla with Thai peanut sauce. Then top with cilantro and green onions.
  4. Serve immediately.

  37. Hi Ali! I had been dying to try making your famous peanut sauce and I must admit it lived up to the hype. It was a huge hit. The tacos however, were a little dry – any recommendation on seasoning the cabbage/sprouts? I marinated the chicken for four hours and the soy/rice vinegar flavor that I love didn’t seem to hold up. I just had to use sooo much peanut sauce I was wondering about a modification. Love your blog – Thanks!

  38. Just made these including the peanut sauce. My family is still asking why I hadn’t made these before. Beyond yummy!!
    Thank you!! This will be a new staple in our home!

  39. I cannot stop making these. Someone, please send help. They are delicious and I cannot and will not stop making them.

  40. Oh delicious, i love this sort of food, Great recipe.

    Simon

  41. These were awesome!!






  42. Easy peasy is “mai phen rai” in thai ?

  43. I kicked this up by adding chili flakes to the marinade. I also added a dash of sesame oil, soy sauce, chili peppers, garlic and ginger powder to the bean sprout mix. I was also going to add chopped cashews, but forgot! Cooked chicken in sesame and olive oil. Great taste, fresh and flavorful. I will try it with cashews next time.
