Best Ingredients for This Thai Chicken Bake

• Whole Wheat Tortillas: Add extra fiber, support digestion, and help keep you fuller longer. They’re a more nutrient-dense option compared to traditional white flour tortillas.

• Natural Peanut Butter: Using natural peanut butter keeps unnecessary fillers, added sugars, and unhealthy oils out of the recipe—giving you a cleaner, more wholesome source of healthy fats and flavor all around.

• Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt: Adds a creamy texture while keeping the fat content lower in an already rich, peanut-forward dish. Choosing plain also avoids added sugars your body doesn’t need.

• Ground Ginger: A great way to add warm, subtle spice without overpowering the dish. It brings the benefits of ginger in a more balanced, approachable flavor. Plus, it’s easy to always have on hand.

• Rotisserie Chicken: A convenient, protein-packed option. A great tip is to use a rotisserie chicken (like from Costco or target), portion it into bags, freeze, and quickly thaw when needed—perfect for easy meal prep or quick dinners all the time.

• Sweet Thai Chili Sauce: Adds a touch of sweetness and heat that balances the richness of the peanut sauce. For extra brightness, a squeeze of fresh lime juice on top is also a simple way to elevate all the flavors in this soft and flavorful dish.

How to Make this Thai Chicken Tortilla Bake

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish. Set aside.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, peanut butter, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, dried cilantro, sesame oil, black pepper, ground ginger, garlic powder, and salt until smooth and silky. Set your Thai peanut sauce aside.

Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, Greek yogurt, shredded carrots, green onions, garlic powder, ground ginger, and salt. Mix until evenly combined and well coated.

Step 4: Spread a few spoonfuls of the peanut Thai sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 5: Lay a tortilla on a clean surface. Add a generous amount of the chicken filling, spreading it evenly while leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges.

Step 6: Roll the tortilla tightly, keeping the filling inside. Place seam-side down, trim the ends if desired, and slice into evenly sized rolled pieces.

Step 7: Arrange the sliced tortilla rolls upright in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, placing them evenly throughout the dish.

Step 8: Pour the remaining peanut Thai sauce over the top, spreading it evenly to coat all the rolls.

Step 9: Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 2–3 minutes of baking.

Step 10: Remove from the oven and let cool for 5–10 minutes. Add your favorite toppings, drizzle with sweet Thai chili sauce if desired, and serve warm. Refrigerate and reheat leftovers as needed. Enjoy!
