Ingredients
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 8 oz ramen noodles
– 1 cup matchstick carrots
– 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
– 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
– 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter
– 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
– 1 tbsp rice vinegar
– 1 tbsp brown sugar
– 1 tsp sesame oil
– 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
– 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
1. 1. In a large skillet or wok, cook the chicken over medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
2. 2. In the same skillet, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
3. 3. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using).
4. 4. Add the chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir in the peanut butter mixture and cook until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
5. 5. Add the cooked chicken, ramen noodles, carrots, bell pepper, green onions, and cilantro to the skillet. Toss to combine and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
6. 6. Serve immediately, garnished with additional green onions and cilantro, if desired.
Notes
For a creamier sauce, add an extra tablespoon of peanut butter. Substitute shrimp or tofu for the chicken to make it vegetarian or gluten-free. Top with crushed peanuts or chopped fresh herbs for extra crunch and flavor.
