Instructions
- Combine marinade ingredients and chicken in a large plastic resealable bag, or shallow glass dish. Cover and let marinate several hours, or overnight.
- Whisk together all of the ingredients for the peanut sauce, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lift chicken out of marinade with tongs and let excess marinade drain off. Place on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before cutting into bite-size pieces.
- Warm up tortillas by cooking each side in a hot, dry skillet for 30-60 seconds. Transfer to a plate to keep warm.
- To assemble tacos, place a little of the chicken in the tortilla and top with desired toppings. Drizzle with some of the peanut sauce and serve.
