I’ve been working on this recipe for a while now. When I first tried it, I had WAAAAYYYY too much peanut butter in the recipe. It was like I had just dumped a jar of peanut butter over some noodles and served it for dinner. Not pleasant.
But over time, I’ve refined it, and I’ve got it tasting pretty scrumptious now. Let me know what you think!

Peanut Broccoli And Chicken Soba Noodles
Ingredients
1 package soba noodles (Use 2 bundles out of a 3 pack)
1 package frozen broccoli
4 sesame chicken breasts (find the recipe here)
1 batch peanut sauce
Peanut Sauce
1 tbsp. creamy peanut butter (no sugar added)
1 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp. agave or honey
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
Directions
Step 1 -Prepare your sesame chicken (recipe here).
Step 2 – While the chicken bakes, cook soba noodles according to package directions. Cook your broccoli right along with your pasta in the same water, at the same time (Two birds with one stone?).
Step 3 – While the pasta cooks, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk all your sauce ingredients together and set aside.
Step 4 – Drain your pasta and broccoli and return to the pot. When chicken is finished baking, cut into bite sized chunks and toss into your pasta pot. Stir in the sauce, and serve.
Eat and Enjoy!
Munchkin Helpers:
If you have little ones, here’s how they can help (With close supervision, of course).
Munchkins can help make the chicken and mix the sauce. Older kids can cook the pasta and broccoli. And don’t forget to have them set the table. Chopsticks make for a fun meal!
