Peanut Chicken with Soba Noodles

Hey there y’all! So tonight I thought I would make something “out of the box”. A little Asian style food to warm the soul. Funny story, I was watching The Food Network, The Pioneer Woman, and my hubby, who hates most out-of-the-box foods says “I wanna try that chicken thing”! He was referring to the peanut chicken she was making, so here it is!

Ingredients:

For the marinade:

½ C water

¼ C veg. Oil

1/8 C soy sauce

¼ tsp ground ginger

1Tbsp chili garlic sauce

pinch of pepper

4 chicken breasts or 6-8 chicken tenders

_____________________________________________

For the peanut sauce:

½ C peanut butter

4 Tbsp soy sauce

pinch of lime zest

pinch of ground ginger

1tsp rice vinegar

¼ tsp garlic powder

Hot water.

½ Cup water

1/8 Cup soy sauce

1 tsp Chili garlic sauce

1 tsp rice vinegar

½ tsp brown sugar

¼ cup water

2tsp corn starch

1 pkg Soba noodles.

what to do:

Combine all marinade ingredients. Cut breasts into ½ inch strips or leave tenders whole and marinate in a gallon size ziplock for 1 hr. Grill or Bake at 350F for about 20 min or meat is completely cooked.

For the Sauce: In a blender combine all ingredients except the water. Blend and add hot water a little at a time until you have the desired consistency. Drizzle over cooked hot chicken.

For the Soba Noodles: sauce: Combine 1^st set of water, soy sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil. Combine ¼ cup water and the corn starch. Add to the boiling sauce and stir until thick. Remove from heat. Noodles: put in a pot of boiling water until they come apart. Drain and transfer to a hot pan and add as much sauce as you like. Cook sauce into noodles, about 5-7 min.

ENJOY!!!
