How to Make Asian Peanut Chicken Noodle Bowl
Cook the Pasta & Vegetables
In a large saucepan, prepare the linguine according to the package directions. Add the thawed tri-color pepper and onion medley during the last 1 minute of cooking. Drain well, then return the pasta and vegetables to the pan.
Make the Peanut Teriyaki Sauce
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the Honey Teriyaki Sauce, creamy peanut butter and Fiesta Party Seasoning™ until smooth and well combined.
Combine Everything
Stir the peanut teriyaki sauce into the pasta and vegetables. Add the chopped rotisserie chicken and mix well so everything is evenly coated.
Heat Through
Cook over medium heat until everything is heated through, stirring frequently. If the sauce is too thick, gradually stir in up to ¼ cup water until you reach your preferred consistency.
Garnish & Serve
Divide the noodle bowls between six servings and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and chopped peanuts if desired. Serve immediately.
What to Serve With It
Serve with a fresh green salad for a crisp contrast to the creamy noodles.
Add cucumber, steamed broccoli or other fresh vegetables for extra crunch.
Sprinkle chopped peanuts over each bowl for added texture.
Fresh cilantro adds colour and a bright finishing flavour.
Helpful Tips
Add water gradually if the peanut sauce becomes too thick.
Follow the package cooking time and add the vegetables only during the final minute.
Chopped peanuts are best added just before serving to keep their texture.
Warm the finished noodles over medium heat and stir frequently so the sauce coats everything evenly.
Make Ahead & Freeze
Prepare the pasta according to package directions, then rinse it with cold water and toss with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
Place pasta, vegetables and chicken into a gallon freezer bag.
Prepare the peanut teriyaki sauce and place it into a separate quart freezer bag.
Thaw completely. Heat ⅓ cup water in a large skillet, add pasta, vegetables and chicken, then stir in the sauce. Cook until heated through.
