Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 4 stalks green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the soy sauce, peanut butter, lime juice, honey, sriracha (if using), and coconut milk. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Let it simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
Toss the cooked rice noodles with the peanut sauce in the skillet until evenly coated.
Add the sliced chicken back to the skillet, mixing gently to combine with the noodles and sauce.
Serve the chicken and noodles in bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and crushed peanuts for extra flavor and crunch.
Enjoy your flavorful Chicken and Noodles with Peanut Sauce!
