Spicy Soba Noodles With Chicken In Peanut Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

1 carrot, peeled

2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth, divided

1/3 cup reduced-fat peanut butter

1 tablespoon chopped peeled fresh ginger

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

1 to 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper

1 garlic clove, minced

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast

5 cups cooked soba (about 10 ounces uncooked buckwheat noodles)

6 tablespoons sliced green onions

6 tablespoons chopped unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts

Preparation

Shave carrot lengthwise into thin strips using a vegetable peeler.

Combine 1/3 cup broth, peanut butter, ginger, soy sauce, honey, pepper, and garlic; stir with a whisk until smooth.

Place chicken in a large saucepan; add 1 2/3 cups broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 4 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove from heat; let stand 20 minutes. Drain; cut chicken into 2-inch pieces. Combine carrot, peanut sauce, chicken, and noodles in a large bowl; toss to coat. Sprinkle with onions and peanuts.
