PB Chicken

Chicken and Sesame Noodles

(aka Peanut Butter Chicken)

serves 6




2 chicken breasts, chopped

scant 1/3 c. rice wine vinegar

generous 1/3 cup oil

2 T. peanut butter

2 T. soy sauce

1 T. honey

1 T. sesame oil

1 t. peeled, grated ginger

½ t. crushed red pepper

16 ounces linguini or thin spaghetti pasta

2 T. vegetable oil

1 medium carrot, shredded

1 c. chopped green onions (you can get by with less)

2 T. chopped fresh cilantro




Whisk together oil and vinegar, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and red pepper. Set aside. Prepare pasta. While pasta is cooking, heat vegetable oil until very hot. Cook carrot 1 min. Add chicken and green onion to pan and cook, stirring constantly, until chicken is cooked. Drain pasta and toss with sauce and cilantro. You may toss chicken in as well, but we like to serve it atop the noodles. Otherwise, the chicken drops to the bottom and is not evenly distributed. Serve hot or at room temperature.
