Spicy Sriracha Peach Chicken<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This time of year I love recipes where I can add everything to one tray for a easy delicious meal for the whole family and this bake ticks all the boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had an abundant of ripe peaches that I need to use up and usually I'd make some kind of puree to serve over some plain Greek yoghurt or oatmeal. But with some chicken thighs to cook for dinner, I thought how about I use them for a flavoursome marinade to coat the chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So looking in the pantry for a few other ingredients to compliment the flavour of the ripe peaches, I grabbed the bottle of sriracha for a perfect spicy kick and a few other items like soy sauce and tomato paste puree to create the perfect sauce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Food Processor for making Marinades<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While food processors are not a necessity for purees and marinades as you can use something like a mortar and pestle or just mix together everything finally chopped. I have to say I do love my little food processor, it's the perfect size for things like sauces, salsa, guacamole, dips (hummus) and delicious marinades like this Sriracha Peach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are various different options, but I have the Kitchenaid Mini Food Processor<\/a><\/strong> - any mini food processor will work fine though, including nutribullets or stick blenders if it comes with a tall blender jug. Full size blenders or food processors are not really ideal for small quantities like in a marinade however, until you are making a larger amount. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetables great for Bakes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Feel free to adapt this recipe with your own choice of vegetables, there are so many different choices you can use. I just went for what I had on hand and what I thought would go well with the flavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
