Kitchen Tips

Keeping it Safe

Cutting boneless skinless chicken breasts into pieces can be a slippery task. Make it safer and prevent the knife from slipping by cutting the chicken while it is partially frozen. The firmer chicken is much easier to cut and handle.

Food Facts

Pasta is available in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors and forms. Most purchased pasta is dry, but refrigerated (fresh) and frozen pasta are increasingly more available. For dry pasta, look for few broken pieces and even coloring. For fresh and frozen pasta, look for even coloring, no dry spots and properly formed shapes (no spillage of filled pastas). Fresh and frozen pasta will carry a "best buy" date on the package.

Rated 5 out of 5 by dennislm1 from My boyfriend and I made this the other night and it was terrific. My boyfriend and I made this the other night and it was terrific. We did make quite a few substitutions so that we didn't have to run to the store (green beans instead of peas, creamy peanut butter plus whole peanuts instead of crunchy peanut butter, and cayenne pepper instead of red pepper flakes) and add a couple of ingredients (sesame seeds and a little garlic powder in the sauce), but I think it would be just as delicious as it's written. The sauce tasted exactly like the peanut sauce I've had in Thai restaurants. I would also recommend adding bean sprouts to make the dish even more authentic!

I wasn't sure how good it would taste when reading through the ingredients, but I was pleasantly surprised! My family ate it until it was gone, and I love the extra protein it contains! Have made it several times with different veggies each time. A great dish every time...In fact, my mother-in-law said the sauce was so tasty she could DRINK it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by gunderbunder from This was my second time making it and I absolutely love it! This was my second time making it and I absolutely love it! I used regular peas this last time since I didn't have sugar snap peas, but it was still so good! I might try adding some more veggies the next time I make it. Everyone at work was jealous at lunch when I was heating it up to have for lunch, so the recipe got sent out right away!

Rated 5 out of 5 by beccamonna from This was fantastic! This was fantastic! It reminded me of when I got Thai food at a restaurant many years ago. I am glad that I now have something very similar to make. My husband enjoyed it, as did my two year old and my five year old (who is so picky he won't even eat hamburgers or pizza!), although he ate the chicken separate from the noodles.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kasieleigh1 from This recipe is one of my favorites. This recipe is one of my favorites. It is one of those that you have the main ingradients usually in your kitchen. It is so good and you can make it healthier by using fat free dressing as well as lower in sodium by using low sodium soy sauce. Using whole wheat noodles also is just as good. This is my houses favorite meals!

I don't always have access to fresh pea pods, so I have used a bag of frozen pea pods. I rinse the frozen pea pods with cool water and add to the chicken just warm them and then I add the sauce. If I have any leftovers, it is a great lunch the next day.

Rated 4 out of 5 by careyd115 from i mkae this dish quite a bit. i mkae this dish quite a bit. my husband says it is one of his favs but my four year old and two year old aren't too crazy about it (i omit the red pepper flakes and add them to mine and my husbands plates.) I also use frozen brocolli florets-add them to the pasta water the last four or five minutes to cook. really good

Rated 5 out of 5 by LMW1015 from Fantastic recipe! Fantastic recipe! The sauce was outstanding. It has a little bit of a kick. I'd say if you don't want so much kick cut down the amount of red pepper flakes but it wasn't overly "hot". Also we forgot to get pea pods so I used regular frozen peas I had and still turned out fantastic. Would definitely make again!
