Chicken & Pasta in Peanut Sauce

"The first time I used a bottled sauce and did not like it but then I found Sharon123's recipe for Peanut Sauce and fell in love! Recipe #37244 is what I used but use whatever peanut sauce that fits your taste buds. I do know that a good quality peanut sauce can make or break this recipe. Nice simple meal to put on the table even during a busy week."

  1. Very good and actually simple. I think what makes it work is the peanut sauce #37244 though. Great meal and definitely a change from the norm in this house!
     
  2. Yum! I love pasta in peanut sauce and this was a simple and tasty one. I forgot to add the veggies to the pasta water, so did a quick stir-fry of them before adding to the dish. It came together quickly and I really enjoyed the contrast of the crunchy veggies and the red pepper flakes for a little heat. Thanks Hokies for a reat meal. Made for Potluck Tag.
     
  3. Super easy. The peanut sauce I used had a bit of red pepper so we got a nice little zing. Easy to sub out other ingredients; I used broccoli and a thinly sliced carrot instead of the sliced bell pepper. will make again.
     
  4. So good! I didn't add chicken, but I added edamame and a little bit of sesame oil on the noodles.
     
  5. What an easy, yummy dish! I used boneless chicken thighs as that is our preference and I but back the pasta to 6 oz (DH needs to watch his carbs......won't do it on his own so I have to help.......most times he doesn't have a clue) and used #37244 for peanut sauce. This would be even quicker using precooked sliced chicken and for those nights when I'm really busy, I just might do that. Thanks for posting this Hokies! Made for Potluck Tag.
