OKAY. So, lets talk about this Sheet Pan Peanut Chicken and Veggies.
Peanut sauce is maybe one of my favorite things in all of life so when I saw this recipe, I KNEW it needed to be in my life. But, many of you also thought that because out of the 6 recipes I proposed, this Spicy Peanut Chicken recipe got the most votes when I asked which one I should make.
Like all of the other recipes in One and Done, this sheet pan recipe is SO easy!
How to Make This Sheet Pan Peanut Chicken and Veggies
First we’ll make a simple peanut sauce by whisking together the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lim juice, sriracha, and ginger until smooth.
Then we’ll place all of the veggies on a tray to bake for a bit while you prepare the chicken. The chicken eventually gets put on the tray, nestled among the veggies, and baked for an additional 15 minutes until cooked through.
And that’s pretty much it.
- ONE pan
- super easy
- Just 30 minutes to throw together
- your new favorite dinner!

Sheet Pan Peanut Chicken and Veggies
Ingredients
For the Peanut Sauce
- 2 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons of canned full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 tablespoon of reduced-sodium soy sauce
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 teaspoon of sriracha
- 1/4 teaspoon of grated ginger
For the Chicken
- Olive oil spray
- 1 1/2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into 1-inch-thick strips
- 2 tablespoons of reduced-sodium soy sauce
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 4 cloves of garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2 cups of peeled and diced sweet potato (about 1/2 inch pieces), about 2 small/ medium sweet potatoes
- 2 cups of broccoli florets
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups of sugar snap peas
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons of roasted peanuts, chopped
- fresh cilantro for garnish
- lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- To make the peanut sauce, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, Sriracha, and ginger in a small bowl until smooth.
- Adjust a rack in the center and another rack ~4 inches from the broiler. Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare a large baking tray, roughly 18×13 inches, by spraying with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Pour half of the peanut sauce over the chicken and stir.
- Place the sweet potatoes, broccoli, red onion, bell pepper, and sugar snap peas on the prepared pan and toss with sesame oil as well as the remaining salt. Roast in the oven on the center rack, tossing halfway, for about 25-30 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are almost tender.
- Nestle the chicken among the veggies, pour the remaining marinade over the chicken and then roast until the chicken is cooked through, about an additional 10-12 minutes.
- Switch the oven to broil and move the pan to the higher rack to broil until the chicken is browned, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve, top with peanuts and cilantro and ENJOY!

This looks delicious and fab. Definitely will try.
Can you freeze the leftover coconut milk?
yes! I’ve done this a few times. I can’t say for sure how long it is good in the freezer.
Deliciousness

What happens with the remaining half of the peanut sauce? The instructions don’t say.
In step 5 you pour the remaining sauce over the chicken. I’ll update it to make that extra clear! thanks!
What Do You Serve With This? I am making it for my family and to take as a meal for a friend.
I really like to eat this with rice or quinoa. And often we even eat it on it’s own!
Heads up: cooking times are WAY off in this recipe (which otherwise is fabulous w a few tweaks). At 425 degrees my vegetables were mostly cooked after 15 mins…after baking again until chicken was done, vegs were mush. I had to remove all vegs from pan in order to brown chicken. I’ll definitely be making again, just w adjusted times…very tasty!
Nice recipe. Keep up the good work.

How many servings does this recipe make?
I will try to make it tonight! For vegans, can you sub the chicken with extra firm tofu?
I think that’s a great idea! Reference this post for cooking the tofu if needed! https://foodwithfeeling.com/?s=tofu
Would the sauce need any adjustments if using natural peanut butter?
I usually make this with a smooth, natural peanut butter and no adjustments need to be made!
Can this be made without anything peanuts,can’t have peanuts on renal diet,looks delicious
I bet it would work with cashew or almond butter!
Just made it tonight (as written) and it was delicious! I’d personally try cashews as a sub for peanuts, if your diet allows them!

Can I get the nutrition info for the sheet pan chicken please? I have to limit carbs, and need to know if I can eat this. Looks great! Thx, Jim O’Brien
I just updated the recipe card with that info! I’ve been trying to work on getting that in all of my old recipes
When does the other half the peanut sauce get added in? The veggies were way over done!!! I cooked them the minimum amount of time, and removed them from the pan before adding the chicken.
I was very disappointed in this recipe, and I won’t be making it again, even with adjusted cooking times.
The rest of the peanut sauce gets add in towards the end as indicated in step 5. So sorry that this didn’t work out for you. This is a recipe from a cookbook the author sent me and her recipes are always great. We’ve made this a handful of times and it’s always a hit in our house
Seems interesting,will try soon
Solidly ok. The addition of the sweet potato definitely impacts bake times and the dish could have used more sauce. The proportions are great for meal prepping.

Absolutely a favorite of my family I make it a few times a month in the winter. Cooking time is actually much less closer to 15 min for roasting the vegetables. Also I take the second half of the peanut sauce and those it with the veggies. Really adds flavor. That maybe why it roasts faster for me..
