Thai Peanut Chicken Noodles
The quickest noodle dish you could ever whip up in less than 30 minutes. Full of flavor, and can be served as a side or main!
Guys. I’m a little obsessed with these noodles. I had this about 4 times in the last 1 1/2 days.
It’s the peanut sauce that I can’t get enough of. A peanut sauce so easy and so so good made with a few pantry staples – PB, soy sauce, garlic, honey, ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil and Sriracha.
You can also toss in all your veggies for a true clean-out-the-fridge meal!

Yep. This sauce is addicting. Made sauce again for Asian inspired salad with lettuce, cabbage, veggies and rice noodles. Will be restocking for lunch all next week!
This is our favorite recipe! I always double the sauce and use rice noodles. Added matchstick cut carrots and zucchini this time and it was wonderful! Thank you for this recipe!
This one deserves a rating from me. I’ve made it a lot of times. I generally double the sauce and put it with a pound of spaghetti noodles.
This was amazing – so much flavor and so easy! Followed the recipe exactly with the exception of using spaghetti noodles (it’s all I had ♀️), but I cooked them al dente and added them in according to the recipe and it was so delicious! Will absolutely be making again!
This is pretty amazing AND easy! Loved it and so did the family! I used cut up rotisserie chicken from costco so this made it Super easy and fast. I also used 2 baby bok choy instead of cabbage and the carrots that come like matchsticks. This literally took 15 minutes start to finish A big winner in my kitchen
Of course this tastes amazing — it is sweet, salty, savoury, rich and has a touch of acid and optional heat. I ran this through a nutrition calculator, and based on 1/4 of the recipe (assuming four servings), it is 173 cal, 9.3 g fat, 709.7 mcg sodium, 11.8 g sugar, 19.4 g total carbs. I made the sauce exactly as written, and served it with noodles, vegetables and chicken… but only as two portions (345 calories!). Yes, it was utterly delicious, and as a once in a blue moon treat it is manageable, but beware of indulging in it multiple times per week.
I made this tonight and we loved it.
I made it on a whim and had to change the veggies because I didn’t have cabbage. Next time I will try the recipe as written because that is only fair
That said. Delicious! The sauce is flavourful. (Made exactly as written except for sesame oil – I’m out). I used brown rice Ramen noodles. Carrots. Peas Mushrooms. And spinach. (What I had)
I marinate my chicken in = parts sugar, salt, pepper and some cayenne. Before sautéing. So there is that too.
But really it’s about the sauce. I thinned it a little with the water from the noodles.
So much flavour. Thumbs up. My husband devoured it.
I just made the sauce (with sriracha) and put a little bit on some plain ramen noodles, topped with crushed peanuts and cilantro. OOOMMMGGGG. So delicious.
I LOVE these Thai chicken noodles. I’ve made them several times and they are absolutely delicious. Will make again soon.
Ever since I found this recipe 2 weeks ago, I’ve made it 5 times! (Which is probably too many)
I’ve tried it with soba and udon noodles depending on what’s at my local grocery store, but both turned out incredibly. I’ve also been cubing my chicken and battering it in corn starch before frying it in sesame oil. It’s not necessary, but it makes me feel like I really did a thing!
I’ve never commented on a recipe before, but this dish was just so good I had to speak out! Thank you!
So so so so good! I could eat the sauce by the spoonful! My family devoured it! We will make this again!
This is delicious! I made it tonight and will make it again!
Delicious sauce recipe. I used PB Fit peanut butter powder and made the amount called for. It was still wonderful with a fraction of the calories.
My husband nodded all through dinner. That’s how I know he’s enjoying it. Well, and he said so :). Instead of olive oil I subbed in chili oil in the dressing, and I squeezed fresh lime right beforeserving, which brightened it up a bit. We will make this again. Thank you.
Major family favorite, and way better than the pad thai from even our favorite Thai restaurant in town.
Amazing, thank you!!!
I made this for dinner last night using a 13 oz. box of Dreamfield spaghetti, I also doubled the sauce ingredients (except for soy, which I kept at 1/4 c as we prefer sweet and spicy flavors a little more than salty). This dish came together so quickly and turned out AMAZING! It definitely earned a place in our regular rotation. Thank you for sharing such a tasty recipe! I’m now looking forward to trying others from your site! 🙂
Loved it!
This is damn delicious!
I triple the sauce (used Brags instead of soya suace) and double everything else. I use chicken, bagged slaw, matchbook carrots and rice noodles.
Better than take out!!
made this today as it was a very rainy day. I had all the ingredients, so took a chance. It turned out so damned good. I have made so many of your dishes and have always had a great outcome. Flavor, flavor and more flavor for this one. Thank you for posting. I’m sure that I will be making many more as my freezer if filled with chicken.
