Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, julienned
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 8 ounces linguine or fettuccine, cooked and drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté red bell pepper and carrots until just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, peanut butter, rice vinegar, brown sugar, crushed red pepper, and chicken broth until smooth.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and stir to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until heated through and slightly thickened.
  5. Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until evenly coated with the sauce.
  6. Sprinkle with green onions, cilantro, and peanuts if using. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha.
  • Swap linguine for rice noodles to keep it more traditional.
  • Make it vegetarian by replacing chicken with tofu and using veggie broth.
