Sheet Pan Peanut Butter Chicken and Broccoli 

Who doesn’t love an easy peasy one-pan meal? I’m all about easy clean up and there’s nothing quite like a meal that uses minimal dishes. Simple dinners are my mantra with two young kiddos (and two businesses) and this flavorful and healthy Sheet Pan Peanut Butter Chicken and Broccoli is a huge time saver for us!

I don’t know about you but while I love to cook I despise the mess it creates and having to clean it up. Finding the time for it is like searching for a needle in a haystack — close to impossible!

Keep it simple, mama!

This sheet pan peanut butter chicken and broccoli dinner is an explosion of Asian flavors. It’s basically a healthy version of Chinese take-out so all of your reasons to order take-out are gone!

The amount of effort it takes to clean up this one pan meal is about the same amount of effort it would take to order take-out — call your order in, drive to pick it up (fighting traffic the entire way), unpack it at home, and clean up the empty containers.

Too many steps for this mama! One pan?? YEP! I’ll take it. You don’t even have to worry about standing over the stove for this one either. This baby goes right into the oven!

From the fiber in the veggies, to the healthy fats in the coconut milk and peanut butter, and protein from the chicken, this dish brings you full circle when it comes to key nutrients.

    I made the peanut butter chicken last night and it was delicious. My husband does the majority of the cooking in our house and usually doesn’t like what I cook. He raved over this chicken and said we definitely have to make it again. Thank you so much for these wonderful recipes.
