Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

⅓ cup smooth peanut butter
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon Asian garlic-chili sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger root
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package uncooked linguine pasta
3 ½ cups cooked chicken, cut into strips
1 cup julienne-sliced carrot
6 green onions, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
1 celery rib, thinly sliced
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
½ cup chopped roasted peanuts, for garnish

Steps:

  • To make the dressing, place the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili-garlic sauce, brown sugar, ginger, red pepper flakes, and 3 tablespoons of chicken broth together in a blender or bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Thin the dressing to your taste by adding more chicken broth or water.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and place pasta into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the chicken, carrots, green onions, red pepper, celery, and cilantro to the bowl with the linguine. Pour the dressing over the noodle-chicken mixture and toss until mixture is evenly coated. Divide the salad among eight serving plates, and sprinkle peanuts over each serving.

I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken for this recipe and it worked out great. It saved me a lot of time and the chicken was still very flavorful.
