Original Recipe by: Pinch of Yum

TOTAL TIME: 45 minutes  
YIELD: 3–4 servings 1x

PREP TIME: 30

COOK TIME: 15

Ingredients

• 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into thin slices

• 8-ounce jar Thai peanut satay sauce (from Trader Joe’s), separated

• 1 clove grated garlic

• 2 thinly sliced cucumbers, into ribbons

• ½ cup thinly sliced red onion (about ¼ an onion)

• 2 tablespoons avocado oil

• 1 tablespoon vinegar

• Salt and Sugar to taste

• 4 ounces vermicelli noodles

• A few tablespoons of crushed peanuts

• A few sprigs of herbs – mint, cilantro, or basil

Directions

1. Marinate the chicken with HALF the jar of sauce and the garlic for about 30 minutes to an hour.

2. Meanwhile, toss the cucumbers, onions, oil, vinegar, salt and sugar together.

3. Heat a small amount of oil in a nonstick pan over  medium heat; add chicken, let it sit undisturbed for a few minutes to caramelize, then flip and repeat until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. To caramelize it further, you can add a pinch of sugar towards the end.

4. Serve the chicken over rice noodles, with some of the cucumber salad, fresh herbs, and peanuts.

5. Using your remaining sauce, add a bit of water, soy sauce, or chili oil to the jar to thin it out into more of a dressing. Drizzle over the bowls and dive into that.
