Servings: 5 Servings
Calories: 405kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Chicken 97/3
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 10 oz Al Dente Carba-Nada Noodles*
- 1 cup Pasta Water
For the Sauce
- 1/2 cup 120g Sauerkraut or Pickled Mustard Greens, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup 26g Powdered Peanut Butter
- 1/4 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chili Oil
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon White Pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Mix the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Pat the ground chicken dry on both sides with a paper towel. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side, before breaking apart and fully cooking.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, salt the pot of water and drop the pasta in. Cook for 3 minutes. (You want al dente pasta. Different pasta may have a different cook time.)
- While the pasta cooks, add the sauce to the cooked ground chicken and stir everything together. Let the sauce begin to caramelize but watch closely to avoid scorching.
- Once the pasta is nearly done, add a cup of the pasta water to the skillet, stirring everything together. You can add more if you like more broth in your noodles. Remove from the heat.
- Drain the remaining water and add the noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together and serve with toasted peanuts, scallions, and extra chili oil, if desired.
