Thai peanut sauce is combined with fresh herbs and chicken in this delicious and easy recipe for homemade chicken pot stickers.
When it comes to my homemade Thai peanut sauce, I’d basically like to put it on everything!
I originally made this sauce to go with PB&J Chicken Skewers… yeah, that’s a thing and they’re so good!
The recipe is now considered “old school” on the blog, we’re talking over 2 years ago, the beginning days of recipe creation, which is perfect for today since it’s “Throwback Thursday”!
Since the initial creation of the homemade Thai peanut sauce I’ve found ways to incorporate it into many other dishes on the blog, such as Thai Peanut Sweet Potato Buddha Bowls, Thai Peanut Vegetable Pasta, Thai Peanut Pulled Pork Roti Bread Pizza (yum!) and Thai Chicken Salad.
Now I’ve added it to these delicious pot stickers, merging Chinese food with Thai food in the most scrumptious little appetizer!
