Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ounces green beans, trimmed and halved lengthwise (2 cups)
1 red bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, thinly sliced lengthwise
8 ounces rice noodles
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced into bite-size wedges (2 cups)
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
1/2 cup peanuts, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling water, cook beans until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add bell pepper, and stir to submerge. Using a small sieve, transfer vegetables to a bowl. Add noodles to boiling water, and cook until al dente according to package directions, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain, rinse thoroughly with cold water, and reserve.
  • Meanwhile, in a small skillet, bring 1 cup salted water to a simmer over medium heat. Add chicken breasts; cover, and cook 5 minutes. Turn off heat; let steam until chicken is cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, shred chicken with a fork.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, and sugar. Add reserved vegetables and noodles, chicken, pineapple, mint, and 1/4 cup peanuts; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat with dressing. Serve immediately, topped with remaining 1/4 cup peanuts.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a good way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The chicken was tough, the noodles were overcooked, and the sauce was way too salty.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the salt.

This dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try marinating the chicken next time.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used canned pineapple. I think it would be better with fresh pineapple.

I made a few changes to the recipe and it turned out even better than I expected. I added some red pepper flakes for a little spice and used brown rice noodles instead of white rice noodles.
