Shortcut Thai Chicken Tacos

Aug 13, 2020 | Deals, Recipes | 1 comment

I make tacos almost every week without fail. To keep things interesting, I put different types of tacos on my menu. When I spotted the BOGO sale on Mighty Spark Chicken I knew I’d be whipping up some of my Shortcut Thai Chicken Tacos.

The tacos are crazy simple to make. Just cook the meat, pull out some toppings and throw together a quick peanut sauce. I would say that you can have dinner on the table in 15 – 20 minutes from start to finish.

If you don’t like (or want to use) the Mighty Spark Chicken you can make your own Thai Chicken with some ground chicken and a few ingredients. I’ll add a quick recipe option in the notes of the recipe just in case.

But, it’s the peanut sauce is what really makes this recipe. You definitely can’t skip the sauce. Whenever I make this recipe, we all fight over who gets to scrape the final bit from the bowl.

Pick up a few ingredients and add this recipe to your menu this week. Look for these deals as part of the Publix Ad & Coupons Week Of 8/13 to 8/19 (8/12 to 8/18 For Some).

Notes
Replacement for Mighty Spark Chicken: Spray a skillet with cooking spray. Cook 1 lb ground chicken in a skillet until browned. As the chicken cooks whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon sriracha, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger, 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1 teaspoon chopped cilantro. Pour the mixture over the chicken and cook for 3 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed.

    This was absolutely delicious, and a great use of the Mighty Spark chicken I was curious about! In my house, no one fought over who got the last of the peanut sauce, because I hoarded it for myself
