Samantha Nicole There are so many options out there to make for dinner, yet when the time comes to decide what to choose, it’s like everyone forgets the endless inventory available! It’s a pretty wild concept, but, oh, so relatable. Next time that happens to you be sure to remember that Thai Peanut Chicken Casserole is a solid option every time. The tender shredded chicken and sweet, crunchy veggies sitting atop some flakey, buttery biscuits, mixed and topped with creamy mozzarella cheese and tangy Thai peanut sauce make this dish just outside of the box enough to be a little adventurous but not too risky. The fact that it all goes in one dish to be thrown in the oven makes it easy enough to avoid finding legitimate excuses to order take-out. Thai Peanut Chicken Casserole will change the question from “What do you want for dinner?” to “Are you good with Thai Peanut Chicken Casserole again tonight?” Life-changing, really, in the most delicious way!
