Ingredients
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 8 oz rice noodles (or your choice of noodles)
– 1 cup mixed bell peppers, sliced
– 1 cup broccoli florets
– ½ cup creamy peanut butter
– ¼ cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons sesame oil (or vegetable oil)
– Optional: chopped green onions and crushed peanuts for garnish
Instructions
Creating Peanut Chicken Stir Fry with Noodles is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook Noodles: Begin by cooking the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, add the bell peppers and broccoli to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
4. Make Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter and soy sauce until well combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.
5. Combine Everything: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet along with the peanut sauce. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated and heated through.
6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the stir fry and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more soy sauce or peanut butter based on your preference.
7. Serve: Remove from heat, and if desired, garnish with chopped green onions and crushed peanuts.
With these steps, you’re well on your way to creating a delightful meal that’s sure to impress.
