Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine peanut butter-garlic, and 1/3 cup broth; whisk until smooth.

2. Bring chicken and 1-2/3 cups broth to a boil; reduce heat, simmer 4 mins or until done. Take off heat; let stand 20 mins. Drain and cut into 2" pieces.

3. Toss with carrot, peanut sauce, and noodles. Sprinkle with onions and peanuts.

Notes: Delicious!! And very easy to make. Used crunchy peanut butter, left out the peanuts on top, 3 carrots instead of 1. Also used tofu instead of chicken - marinated in soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil then pan-fried before adding in.
