Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces rice noodles
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 green onions chopped
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • Chopped peanuts and cilantro for garnish

Method
 

  1. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper, shredded carrots, and green onions. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) until smooth.
  5. Add the cooked noodles and sliced chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the peanut sauce over the mixture and toss to combine everything evenly.
  6. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is heated through.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with chopped peanuts and cilantro.
