Grilled Chicken with Sesame Noodles


Marinade
4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 cloves of garlic minced
1'' ginger minced
2 tablespoons cilantro chopped

Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about a pound)
1 lb whole wheat fettuccine
3 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons peanut oil
4 green onions chopped on an angle
1 red bell pepper diced
1'' ginger minced
3 cloves of garlic minced
1 teaspoon red chili paste
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons hot water
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions
Whisk together all ingredients for the marinade. Put the chicken and the marinade in a ziplock bag. Refrigerate for 1 hour, up to 6 hours.

Grill in medium heat for 4 minutes each side. Set aside to cool a bit. Slice into thin pieces.

Bring a big pot of water to boil - add a tablespoon of peanut oil into the water. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions (al dente). Drain the pasta and toss with the sesame oil.

In a medium sized pot heat the peanut oil over medium heat. Add the green onions, red bell, ginger, garlic and chili paste. Cook for about 3 minutes, until fragrant. Add the brown sugar, peanut butter, vinegar, soy sauce and hot water. Stir until all is melted and combined.

In a large mixing bowl combine the pasta, chicken and peanut sauce. Then garnish with the sesame seeds. This dish can be served room temperature or chilled.

  1. This looks really good, and easy. All I have to do is substitute GF fettuccine and I'm good to go.
