Thai Chicken Peanut Noodles | Garnish & Glaze

Hey friends!  Have you ever had peanut butter in a savory dish?  I promise it’s D-licious!  Well, this Thai Chicken Peanut Noodle recipe is anyway, as well as my Pork Pad Thai recipe.  My 17 month old even liked it but I felt pretty bad for her because eating pasta with your hands can be quite difficult.  Kind of like me eating with chop sticks.

Anyway, I’m bringing you a peanut butter recipe because I joined a group a bloggers for a #FoodieExtravaganza and this month’s ingredient that we all had to make a dish with is PEANUT BUTTER.  At the end of this post you’ll find more peanut butter goodness so keep reading and then go check out their yummy recipes!Thai Chicken Peanut Noodles | Garnish & Glaze

So besides being scrumptious, these Thai Chicken Peanut Noodles only take 30 minutes AND (I bet you couldn’t even tell) are made with whole wheat noodles!  Ha!  You thought it was dark because of the peanut sauce?  Yes… but also because it’s whole wheat pasta.  Seriously, great way to sneak in more fiber and vitamins & minerals.

Oh and the sauce is super duper easy to make.  You don’t even have to cook it.  Just toss it all in a jar, shake some anger out and voila!  Now, the recipe calls for Sriracha which is an Asian hot sauce found in the Asian aisle but if you can’t handle any heat, leave it out or just add a little at a time between shakes.  I put 2 teaspoons of it in and my baby did fine with the heat.

I’m obsessed with cilantro.  Love that it’s in practically every Thai and Mexican dish.  It just adds a level of freshness. Don’t ya think?

K, so I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty proud of my fun garnish on top.  I mean, after all, my blog is called Garnish & Glaze so I should have some good garnishes right?  Find out how to make this garnish and while you’re there follow me on Instagram for more #cookingtricksandtips to come!  Any requests/suggestions?

    I wanted to let you know I’ve adapted this into one of my favorite keto meals! I use zucchini instead of pasta, truvia brown sugar blend instead of brown sugar, Bragg liquid aminos instead of soy sauce and six tablespoons of tb2 and two extra tablespoons of water for the peanut butter. It is so good and freezes well! Thank you thank you thank you for this recipe that I could make work for me!

    Melanie, this was delicious! I made it Sunday for dinner and everybody loved it! If I made it again I would double the chicken though, Robbie eats 6 oz of meat himself and therefore do 1.5x the sauce. Also, I need to fly you out here to teach me how to cook it as fast as you do because it took me 1 hour and 45 minutes from start to finish. But, I do think I am slow.

      Meri- I’m glad you’ve adapted the recipe to make it work better for your family. This is a recipe that is super adaptable. That is a long time to spend on this recipe but maybe it’s because you have four kids demanding your attention while you make it? Making a new recipe also always takes a little longer since you’re not familiar. Once you make it a few more times you’ll get faster. But I’ll take you up on your offer! 🙂 I haven’t seen you guys in forever!!!

      Me too! The easier, the better! I hate cleaning the blender for small things like sauces so making it in a jar is the way to go.

    Love. love, love peanut sauce. I made one this month, too, and drizzled it on top of sweet potato towers. Hooray for #foodieextravaganza.
