Author: NutritionTwins.com
- Sauce:
- -1/2 cup low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- -1 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter,
- -1-2 tsp Sriracha
- -1 ½ Tbsp. honey
- -3 Tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
- -1/2 tsp ground ginger
- -2-3 chopped garlic cloves
- Other Ingredients:
- -2.5 cup cooked, shredded chicken breast
- -6 oz whole wheat pasta (We suggest Linguine noodles—it works the best with the dish!)
- -1/2 cup chopped green onions (garnish)
- -½ cup shredded carrots
- -3/4 cup shelled edamame
- -1/2 cup chopped cucumbers
- -1/4 cup cilantro (garnish)
- -1 lime cut into 5 wedges
- -1/4 chopped peanuts
- Fill a medium pot with 5-6 cups of water until the pot is ⅔ full.
- Bring the water to a boil and add in dry pasta and stir briefly.
- Allow water to return to a boil and cook pasta for 8-9 minutes until pasta is soft.
- Carefully drain pasta using a strainer.
- Return drained pasta to pot and remove from heat
- In a medium sauce pan, combine all of the sauce ingredients over medium heat and whisk until smooth.
- Bring to a soft boil, and then remove from heat and allow to cool—the sauce will thicken as it cools.
- Divide pasta amongst six bowls in ½ cup portions.
- Divide up the carrots, edamame, cucumbers, chopped peanuts, and green onions, and chicken into the six bowls.
- Spoon ¼ cup of sauce into each bowl, garnish with cilantro, and squeeze lime wedge into each bowl.
- Enjoy!
