RICE NOODLES WITH PEANUT SAUCE, CHICKEN, AND SNAP PEAS
This simple noodle bowl comes together quickly, thanks to a delicious and easy make-ahead [peanut sauce](http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/kid-friendly-peanut-sauce). The combination of roast chicken, carrots, snap peas, and cucumbers offers a refreshing yet satisfying dinner, but feel free to use whatever vegetables you'd like. Roast the chicken ahead of time to get dinner on the table even faster.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Stir oil, cumin, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat.
