This is another crowd pleaser at my house. Even though I sneak spinach in there! Hey, what’s not good smothered in a peanut sauce??
I originally got the recipe from Real Simple’s “10 things to do with rotisserie chicken” It’s the last one “Gingery Peanut Noodles with Chicken”, but made a few changes. One of which is that I don’t use a rotisserie chicken. I’m not a big fan of the dark meat, so I only use the breasts. To each his own though!Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (I cheat and use this)
- Box of Pasta or use Quinoa or…nothing at all. It’s great on it’s own! This time I used quinoa.
- 4-6 Chicken Breasts. Depends on how many people you have and how soupy you want it. I use 6 and either cube it and then cook or have the Huz grill them on the BBQ and then cube after (this is obviously my preferred choice :))
- 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 5-6 cups of spinach.
2 green onions sliced (optional)
Directions
- Either cube the chicken breasts and cook in a large pan with a little olive oil, salt, and peopper or toss the breasts in olive oil, salt, and pepper and BBQ it and then cube.
-
Start to cook the pasta/quinioa/whatever you want to use/not use.

While all of that is cooking…
-
In a blender, combine 1 cup water with the peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and ginger. Blend until smooth.
Looks yum! And people who are GF could totally make this swapping out the soy sauce with Tamari! 🙂
