Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 pound fettuccine pasta
- 1 pound broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon finely minced ginger
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- Toppings optional
- 4 green onions chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine all sauce ingredients and set it aside for later.
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook your pasta according to package directions. Add the broccoli in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking time and then drain immediately. Add the sauce, but reserve 3 tablespoons for the next step
- While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-medium low heat with olive oil. Cook the chicken with the reserved sauce until the chicken is no longer pink, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the chicken to the broccoli and pasta. Toss everything to combine and serve garnished with toppings, if desired.
Notes
Storage: Allow your dish to cool and then store it in airtight containers in the refrigerator. It’ll be good for 3-4 days and you can heat it in the microwave or on the stovetop. Keep in mind that the sauce will soak into the pasta, chicken, and broccoli over time, so it won’t be as saucy when you reheat it.
