How to Make Chicken And Peanut Noodles

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until chicken is lightly browned.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the peanut butter to the skillet.
  5. Whisk in the water, rice vinegar (or soy sauce), soy sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using). Add 1 seasoning packet from the noodles (if using; do not use both packets).
  6. Bring the sauce to a boil.
  7. Add the egg noodles, breaking them up slightly.
  8. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 4 minutes, or until the noodles are tender but still firm, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  9. Add the cooked chicken to the skillet.
  10. Stir in the chopped vegetables (if using). Cover and simmer for another 3 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  11. Stir well to combine everything.
  12. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped peanuts (if using).
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy! Leftovers are just as delicious the next day.
