Thai Chicken Pasta

So I thought I would share our very favorite recipe...we seriously eat this like once a week and then of course leftovers for lunch the next day.  I might would have to say it tastes even better the next day.  Anyway I should have taken pictures which would make this much more intersting but oh well...

Thai Chicken Pasta

chicken (we usually do like 2 breasts, maybe 3 if they are small)
1 cup Toasted Asian Sesame Dressing
12-16 oz thin spaghetti (more or less)
3 Tbs. peanut butter
3 Tbs. honey
3 Tbs. soy sauce
1.5 tsp. crushed red pepper (more or less depending how spicy you like it)
1 pkg. asian medley vegetables (Steamfresh) This has like broccoli, peapods, carrots, and those little corn things...don't know if they are really corn but I sure do love 'em

Cut the chicken breasts into bite sized pieces and pour 1/4 c of the dressing and let it marinate for an 1 hour...or 5 minutes if you are impatient like me. :) 

Cook your noodles...

Make the sauce...the rest of the dressing, the peanut butter, the honey, the soy sauce and the red pepper.  Whisk it together, this is the easiest way because of the pb.

Put the vegetables in the microwave for 5 minutes and saute the chicken.  I don't really know if that is the correct term but I just put the chicken in a pan on the stove and cook it until it's done...probably not sauteing.  Anway, after the chicken is cooked put the veggies in and the noodles and sauce and mix it together and done!  It tastes better if you let it sit for a couple of minutes to let the sauce soak in.

This is so easy and so good.:)
