Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps for a meal your family will love:
- Start by cooking the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Lower the heat to medium, then add the peanut butter, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir until the peanut butter is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Add the red bell pepper slices to the sauce and let them cook for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, along with the cooked noodles. Toss everything together to ensure the noodles and chicken are thoroughly coated with the sauce.
- Top with green onions and crushed peanuts before serving. Add fresh cilantro if you like an extra herbaceous kick.
