Ingredients

Chicken & Noodles

  • Noodles: the main carb source for energy. I used whole wheat spaghetti noodles for extra fiber. Lo mein noodles or any noodle would work.
  • Chicken breast: the main protein source.
  • Garlic powder & pepper: seasoning for chicken.
  • Olive oil: used to grease the skillet to cook chicken. Use your preferred cooking oil. Toasted sesame oil is usually the type of sesame oil available in most grocery stores and it has a low smoke point so it degrades at high temperatures, making it unsuitable for high heat cooking.

Vegetables

  • Garlic: adds flavor and full of antioxidants.  
  • Broccoli: high fiber vegetable and rich in vitamins C and K.
  • Edamame: high fiber and protein legume. You can usually find shelled edamame in the frozen section.
  • Carrots: high in vitamin A and adds fiber.

Peanut Sauce

  • Peanut butter: gives the peanut flavor.
  • Coconut aminos: soy sauce alternative that is lower in sodium.
  • Rice vinegar: adds acidity and thins the peanut butter.  
  • Maple syrup: for a little sweetness to balance the richness of the peanut butter and sesame oil.
  • Sesame oil: adds a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Sriracha: adds spice to the sauce.   
  • Water: use as needed in tablespoons to thin out the sauce.

How to Make Peanut Chicken Noodle Bowls

Noodles: Prepare noodles according to package instructions.

Chicken: Cut chicken into 1 to 2-inch cubes. Season with garlic powder and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, grease pan with olive oil. Once warm, add chicken in a single layer. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning halfway. Once fully cooked, remove from skillet and set aside. Deglaze pan if needed by pouring a little water in the warm skillet. Pour out liquid.

Vegetables: Heat the same skillet over medium heat and grease with olive oil. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Then, add broccoli, edamame, and carrots. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until softened to your preference. Turn off heat.

Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk peanut butter, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, maple syrup, and sriracha. Add water as needed in tablespoons to thin consistency.

Combine: Add cooked noodles to vegetables. Pour in peanut sauce and stir to evenly coat noodles and vegetables in sauce. Sauce is light but adds lots of flavor! Add chicken in. Enjoy!
