Asian Chicken and Bean Thread Noodles

"This is a great, lite dish. It's also very filling. If you want a lite dinner with a great Asian flavor you will love this one. My husband isn't crazy about bean thread noodles so if you aren't crazy about bean thread noodles try substituting thin spaghetti noodles. It still has the same great flavor!"

directions

  • Bring the first five ingredients to a boil remove from heat. Cover and let steep for 10 minutes.
  • Add chicken breast and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 35 to 45 minutes.
  • Remove to plate. Cut into 1 inch cubes when cooled enough to handle.
  • Cook remaining broth down to measure 3/4 cup . If less than 3/4 cup remains, add enough water to make 3/4 cup.
  • Cook bean thread noodles. Rinse and drain.
  • Place well drained noodles into a serving bowl. Top with chicken, cucumbers, onions and peanuts. Drizzle remaining broth/sauce over the top and toss.
  • Chill and serve.
  • We like onions so I add more. We also like the crunch of the peanuts but you can add as many or as few as you like.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Love to cook and bake and especially if I know a recipe is going to turn out. I'm a old country gal and have to be able to prepare meals with little notice or time. I also enjoy cooking in our hunting camps and enjoy finding recipes that work out well, with few modern conveniences. No matter what the situation is, I enjoy serving a tasty meal. I like homestyle cooking for the most part but on occasion I enjoy serving up a gourmet meal just to let everyone know I appreciate all aspects of "food". I love the outdoors. I enjoy working and playing outside. Unfortunately I can't spend as much time as I would like in the fresh air. I have to work inside.
