Here I have for you a super easy dinner recipe that I like to whip up on busy nights. You can omit the chicken and add veggies if you would like or add the veggies with the chicken. Either way it is a protein packed meal that has a creamy sauce.
Doesn’t that look yummy? I like to serve over soba noodles, angel hair noodles, or jasmine rice. The sauce is the star and really simple to make. Sometimes I like to make it super spicy and will add hot sauce into the mix. My 2 favorite winners are Siracha or Truff sauce, yum! To finish a handful of chopped peanuts for texture and green onions make a great topping.
Let’s get started!
