The inspiration for this Chicken and Noodles with Peanut Sauce recipe came from back when we had both our children living at home.

- Chicken broth
- Peanut butter (I use crunchy, but you can use creamy if you prefer it.)
- Fresh ginger
- Low-sodium soy sauce
- Honey
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- Garlic cloves
- Carrot
- Rotisserie chicken
- Spaghetti
- Green onions
- Unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
- Fresh cilantro
First, combine chicken broth, peanut butter, ginger, soy sauce, honey, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth.
Next, bring a pot of salted water to a boil on the stove. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. The pasta should be aldente. Drain the pasta and transfer it to a large bowl.
Then add the carrots, peanut sauce, and chicken to the spaghetti and toss all the ingredients to coat thoroughly.
Finally, sprinkle each bowl with green onions and chopped peanuts before serving. Garnish each serving with chopped fresh cilantro and enjoy.
