Chicken with Sesame Noodles
I got this recipe from Terry after she served it for dinner during a visit. I nearly inhaled the entire bowl of noodles and begged for the recipe (although I didn’t have to beg very hard).

INGREDIENTS
- 8 oz linguine or spaghetti
- 1 red pepper, medium size
- 1 cucumber, medium size
- 1 green onion
- 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 pound)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ¼ cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oriental sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- ¾ cup water
INSTRUCTIONS
About 40 minutes before serving
Prepare linguine as label directs: drain.
Meanwhile, cut pepper and cucumber into matchstick thin strips; slice green onion. Set aside
Cut chicken into 1” strips. Combine cornstarch and salt. Toss chicken strips in mixture to coat. In 12” pan over medium-high heat cook chicken in oil. Remove chicken to plate and keep warm. Note: marinate chicken in additional soy sauce mixture for added flavor.
In pan, add peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar and ¾ cup water. Cook until smooth. Stir in linguine and heat.
Put linguine on platter. Top with chicken, pepper, cucumbers and onions and toss to serve. Note: If you want the leftovers to taste better, do not put pepper, cucumbers and onions on the top – serve them on the side so that they won’t wilt.
