Cuisine: Chinese
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced
- 4 cups cooked Chinese noodles
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by slicing chicken breasts into thin strips, chopping green onions, and measuring out peanut butter and soy sauce.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, and chili oil until smooth to create the peanut sauce. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat with a small amount of cooking oil.
- Add sliced chicken to the hot skillet, cooking for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- While chicken is cooking, prepare Chinese noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
- Once chicken is cooked, pour the prepared peanut sauce over the chicken in the skillet, stirring to coat evenly and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Add cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure noodles are well-coated with sauce and heated thoroughly.
- Transfer the hot chicken and noodles to serving plates, garnishing with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately while hot, with extra chili oil on the side for those who want additional heat.
Tips
- Slice chicken uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Use high-quality chili oil for the most authentic and intense heat level.
- Don't overcook the chicken - aim for golden brown edges while keeping the meat juicy and tender.
- For extra flavor, toast the sesame seeds briefly in a dry pan before sprinkling them as a garnish.
- If you prefer less heat, adjust the amount of chili oil to suit your personal spice tolerance.
- Make sure your skillet or wok is hot before adding chicken to achieve that perfect sear.
- Have all ingredients prepped and measured before you start cooking to ensure a smooth preparation process.
- For added nutrition, consider adding some julienned vegetables like bell peppers or carrots to the dish.
