Out of the Box: Nutty Noodles with Chicken

from Parents Magazine

Serves 6
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes

What You'll Need
Nutty Noodles with Chicken

  • 1 package (12 ounces) soba noodles (buckwheat)
  • 2 cups frozen, shelled edamame
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup Asian sesame or ginger salad dressing
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 cucumber, cut in half lengthwise and sliced

Tip: Can't find soba noodles at the grocery store? Buy whole wheat linguine or spaghetti instead.

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add soba noodles and cook 3 minutes. Add edamame and carrots to noodle water and cook 3 minutes more. Drain.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together peanut butter, salad dressing, and 1/4 cup very hot water. Add drained noodle mixture to peanut sauce and toss to coat well.
  3. Add chicken and cucumber slices and toss again. Serve warm or at room temperature.
