Chicken Stir Fry with Thai Peanut Noodles

I had one of those days a little while ago. You know, the one where you realize it is 4pm and you haven't thought at all about dinner and you really don't have any food in the house. I used to have a whole pantry and food storage stocked with food. But since this move has been creeping closer and closer, (and creeping isn't the right word...it is coming too fast!) our food supply has started to dwindle. I had to come up with something fast. I open my pantry to find linguine noodles and peanut butter, along with a few cans of beans and soup. In my freezer I knew I had some chicken and stir-fry vegetables. And this is what I came up with for dinner.

Chicken Stir Fry with Thai Peanut Noodles

2 chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
frozen stir-fry vegetables
1 box of linguine noodles (or any other long thin noodle)
1 Tablespoon peanut butter
2 Tablespoons sesame oil
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Cook noodles according to package directions.

Combine peanut butter, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar and sesame seeds in a small bowl and set aside. You can double this recipe if you want more sauce.

Stir fry chicken in a little bit of peanut or sesame oil until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan and keep warm. Stir-fry veggies until thawed and tender crisp. Return chicken to pan and heat until chicken is warmed through. Toss noodles, chicken and veggies and peanut sauce together.

Enjoy!
