Servings: 4
Ingredients
Chicken:
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 package rice noodles
- Sant and pepper to season
Peanut Sauce:
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter (I recommend using unsalted)
- ⅓ cup chicken bone broth (or chicken broth)
- ¼ cup tamari
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (can be omitted if you don't like spice)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Garnish:
- Dry roasted peanuts, crushed
- Cilantro, chopped
- Green onions, chopped
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the peanut sauce ingredients.
- Bring a pot of water to bowl and cook the rice noodles according to package instructions.
- Cook the chicken by heating avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the cubed chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook for about 5 minutes until cooked through, flipping to ensure each side is nicely seared and brown.
- Turn the heat to medium-low and add the peanut sauce.
- Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, tossing the chicken into the sauce. Add the cooked noodles and stir everything together.
- Serve with crushed peanuts, green onion, and cilantro. Enjoy!!
Notes
If you have a peanut allergy, you could use almond butter or cashew butter. It won’t have the same flavor, but it is a fine substitute.
If you have leftovers (it’s rare in my house!), I’d recommend eating them cold. The peanut sauce can congeal when heated again.
