Asian Peanut Chicken Noodles
I have been making this dish in one form or another since I was in my teens, and I still love it to this day. Store-bought prepared noodles make this recipe a snap to prepare, and it makes excellent leftovers whether eaten reheated or straight out of the refrigerator. Make this dish nut-free buy substituting sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter.
