Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. Fill a medium pot with 5-6 cups of water until the pot is ⅔ full.
  2. Bring the water to a boil and add in dry pasta and stir briefly.
  3. Allow water to return to a boil and cook pasta for 8-9 minutes until pasta is soft.
  4. Carefully drain pasta using a strainer.
  5. Return drained pasta to pot and remove from heat
  6. In a medium sauce pan, combine all of the sauce ingredients over medium heat and whisk until smooth.
  7. Bring to a soft boil, and then remove from heat and allow to cool—the sauce will thicken as it cools.
  8. Divide pasta amongst six bowls in ½ cup portions.
  9. Divide up the carrots, edamame, cucumbers, chopped peanuts, and green onions, and chicken into the six bowls.
  10. Spoon ¼ cup of sauce into each bowl, garnish with cilantro, and squeeze lime wedge into each bowl.
  11. Enjoy!
