Here’s a colorful and comforting peanut chicken stir-fry with just a touch of heat from crushed red pepper. If you want even more color, add frozen stir-fry veggies. —Lisa Erickson, Ripon, Wisconsin

Ingredients

8 ounces uncooked thick rice noodles
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup peanut butter
4-1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets
1/2 cup shredded carrot
Sesame seeds, optional

Directions

Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine water, soy sauce, peanut butter, brown sugar, lemon juice, garlic and pepper flakes; set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; stir-fry until no longer pink, 3-4 minutes. Remove from pan.
Stir-fry broccoli and carrot in remaining oil until crisp-tender, 4-6 minutes. Add soy sauce mixture; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until sauce is thickened, 1-2 minutes. Return chicken to pan; heat through. Drain noodles; toss with chicken mixture in pan. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
