Ingredients

  • 2 pieces chicken breast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 8 ounces spaghetti noodles (or rice noodles)
  • 0.5 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1.5 tablespoons honey
  • 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 tablespoons water (to thin the sauce)
  • 3 stalks green onions, sliced
  • 0.5 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the pan, let it rest for 5 minutes, and slice into thin strips.

Step 3

Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and water until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.

Step 5

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the cooked noodles and peanut sauce. Toss to coat the noodles evenly.

Step 6

Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and gently mix it into the noodles.

Step 7

Sprinkle sliced green onions, chopped roasted peanuts, and optional red pepper flakes over the noodles for garnish.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy your Nutty Noodles with Chicken!
