MAGIC NOODLES (SPICY THAI PEANUT CURRY NOODLES)

Steps:

• Begin by poaching the chicken breast. (If you are using tofu, bake, fry, or steam your tofu. That is up to you!).
• Wrap chicken in a tin-foil wrapper and place in a baking dish. Bake at 425 for about 30 minutes or until cooked completely through. While the chicken is baking, begin the sauce.
• Pour the coconut milk into a large skillet with high sides and gently warm on medium heat for a couple minutes. Add the peanut butter and melt. As the peanut butter melts, add in the rest of the sauce (save 1/2 cup chopped peanuts) ingredients and stir fully. Let gently simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.
• Start a large pot of water to boil for the noodles.
• Rinse and slice the peppers into thin strips.
• Rinse the rest of the veggies and add all of the veggies to the sauce.

• Turn off heat.
• Add a small amount of the coconut peanut butter sauce to the large pasta pot.
