Description
A simple recipe for chicken served with noodles in a peanut sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 12 ounces dried linguine or spaghetti noodles
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup hot water (or more, to thin)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- While the noodles cook, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, hot water, and lime juice in a medium bowl until smooth. Add more hot water, one teaspoon at a time, if the sauce is too thick.
- Cook the chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the drained noodles to the skillet with the cooked chicken.
- Pour the peanut sauce over the chicken and noodles. Toss everything together until the noodles and chicken are evenly coated.
- Serve immediately, garnished with cilantro and chopped peanuts.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer dark meat.
- For a spicier sauce, add 1/2 teaspoon of sriracha or chili garlic sauce to the peanut mixture.
- This dish is good served warm or at room temperature.
