Thai Peanut Chicken Flatbread

I am a big fan of anything Thai and if it includes a spicy peanut sauce, then I’m all in.

I am also a big fan of quick dinners for those busy nights when we are running to the gym. Yes I said gym…part of our living healthy plan for 2017. We started working with a trainer last year and have really enjoyed our time with him so we have pledged to stay focused for 2017. This flatbread fits right into that plan. I cut up the veggies and chicken the day before and kept them in the refrigerator. I also made the marinade the day before so everything was ready to go for a quick, delicious, healthy dinner.

And although this Thai Peanut Flatbread might look indulgent, it’s made with those simple fresh ingredients and chicken – all things good for you. But I think the spicy peanut sauce is really the star of the show.
