Ingredients
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 cup baby carrots
- 3/4 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 of a red onion, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 pound chicken tenders (you can also use chicken breasts, cut into strips the size of tenders)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 14 ounces brown rice noodles
- salt/pepper to taste
Ingredients For Peanut Sauce
- 5 tbsp coconut aminos, divided or low sodium soy sauce: Note that soy sauce contains gluten, so only use coconut aminos if you are gluten free
- 3 tbsp peanut butter, divided
- 1 1/2 tsp ginger paste, divided
- 3/4 tsp garlic chili paste/sauce, divided
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 420 degrees F.
- Place the broccoli, cherry tomatoes, red onion and baby carrots on a large foil sheet lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, mix together the coconut aminos, peanut butter, ginger paste, garlic chili paste and sesame oil. Whisk until it is fully combined, then divide the mixture in half and place in two different bowls.
- Add the chicken tenders to one of the bowls and toss to coat. Place the tenders on the foil lined baking sheet with the veggies.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then flip everything before baking for about another 15 minutes. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees F.
- While the chicken and vegetables are baking, bring a pot of water to a boil and follow the instructions on the box to make the rice noodles. Drain when done.
- When the chicken is done baking, remove it from the oven along with the vegetables. Chop the chicken into bite sized pieces and toss the chicken and the vegetables into the bowl with the rice noodles. Pour the remaining sauce over the top and toss to coat. Serve immediately and enjoy!
