Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Stir-Fry:

  • 1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 4 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha chili sauce (I use Huy Fong, with the rooster on the label)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 16 ounces (1 package) Thai stir-fry noodles (or linguine is fine too)
  • 1 cup matchstick carrots
  • 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • bean sprouts, rinsed
  • 1 cup peanuts, chopped

For the Peanut Sauce:

  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha chili sauce, use ore or less depending on your heat preference
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons minced ginger
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the chicken in 2 tablespoons of the oil, Sriracha sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. (While chicken is cooking bring a large pot of water to a boil.)
  2. When the chicken is cooked through, remove from the skillet, cover and set aside to keep warm.
  3. Add pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente. (While pasta is cooking, make the peanut sauce.)
  4. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet. Add carrots and broccoli to the skillet and saute over medium heat until tender but still a bit crunchy. Return the chicken to the skillet and add green onion and bean sprouts. Cover and simmer over low heat for a few minutes until the chicken is heated through.
  5. Drain the noodles and toss them in the peanut sauce until coated well.
  6. Top the sauced noodles with the chicken and vegetables and garnish with chopped peanuts.

To Make the Peanut Sauce:

  1. In a saucepan set over medium-low heat, combine the chicken broth, peanut butter, Sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Simmer , stirring frequently, until sauce is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
