Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or crunchy)
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon chile paste
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders (or boneless, skinless chicken breasts)
  • 6 ounces Ramen noodles (2 packages boiled, but without the flavor packets)
  • 16 ounces frozen stir fry vegetables
  • roasted peanuts chopped
  • fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, peanut butter, apple cider vinegar, garlic, chile paste, and ginger. Set aside.
  • Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken until no longer pink, about 7 to 10 minutes.
  • While the chicken is cooking, bring a large pot to a roaring boil. Add the Ramen noodles and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking process.
  • Add the frozen vegetables to the chicken and cook until thawed, about 5 minutes.
  • Add in the noodles and the sauce, and toss to combine. The sauce on the dish will be liquidy but will thicken as it sits off the heat.
  • Top with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro for an extra punch of flavor.
