    Grilled Chicken Strips for my Chicken Satay Noodle Bowl | InSearchOfYummyness.com | #MapleLeafPrime

    This post is sponsored by Maple Leaf Prime.

    One of the main reasons why I love eating at restaurants is because I can order stuff I don't usually make at home. I wouldn't say that I'm in a cooking rut... but I do tend to make the same dishes over and over. I love the convenience of quick dishes like Steak Burritos or Pierogies with Mushrooms, but every once in a while I like to try something new.

    This weekend I had some time of my hands (for once) and decided to play around with a recipe for Chicken Satay. While the recipe was super delicious, I didn't want to serve it with white rice because I eat that like 4 times a week. So I decided to make things more interesting by creating a Chicken Satay Noodle Bowl dish.

    This recipe takes a while to put together because of all the chopping and cooking required. If you can find pre-made chicken strips, that will save you some time. In fact, Maple Leaf Prime has fully cooked chicken strips that you could easily substitute into this recipe if you want to cut down on the prep and cooking time.

    I grilled my chicken on my George Foreman grill, but you could just as easily use your BBQ or a stove-top grill pan. Even baked chicken will work, you just won't get those pretty grill marks.

    I hope you give this recipe a try! If you do, let me know how it turns out in the comments below.

    Chicken Satay Noodle Bowl

    This Asian-inspired noodle bowl combines rich peanut sauce with tender chicken and stir-fried veggies. It's a bit time consuming, but the flavours are so good it's worth the effort.

    • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
    • 2 tablespoon brown sugar

    For the Peanut Sauce:

    • 1 small onion, , finely chopped
    • 1 clove garlic, , crushed
    • 1 small red thai chilli, , finely chopped
    • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
    • 4 tablespoon smooth peanut butter
    • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
    • 1 cup coconut milk
    • 1 teaspoon lime juice
    • 1 teaspoon fish sauce

    For the Veggies:

    • 2 teaspoon peanut oil
    • 1 cup red bell pepper, , cut into strips
    • 1 cup yellow bell pepper, , cut into strips
    • 1 cup carrots, , cut into strips
    • 1 Β½ cups mushrooms, , sliced
    • 1 Β½ cups snow peas, , strings removed
    • ΒΌ teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

    For Topping:

    • Β½ cup chopped roasted peanuts

    Instructions 

    Prepare the Rice Noodles:

    • Remove the noodles from the package and soak in warm water for 10 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil.
    • After 10 minutes, add the noodles to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Then drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain thoroughly then toss with the sesame oil. Set aside until ready to use.

    Marinate the Chicken Strips:

    • Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cut into 1 inch thick strips.
    • In a bowl combine the soy sauce, peanut oil, brown sugar, ginger, lime juice and chilli. Add the chicken strips and coat with the mixture. Cover and set aside in the fridge to marinate for 1 hour (or overnight).

    Make the Sauce:

    • Place a small saucepan over medium heat.
    • Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they become translucent. Then add the garlic and chilli and cook for another minute or two, or until the garlic is fragrant.
    • Add the sugar and stir gently. Cook until the mixture is slightly caramelized.
    • Add the peanut butter and soy sauce, and stir through.
    • Whisk the coconut milk into the mixture and warm through. Set aside until ready to use.

    Cook the Vegetables:

    • Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the veggies are browned a bit. Add the salt during the last minute of cooking, and then drizzle with the sesame oil. Set aside until ready to use.

    Cook the Chicken:

    • Remove excess marinade from the chicken and thread the strips onto skewers.
    • Cook the chicken on a hot grill for 4-5 minutes, being careful not to overcook the meat. Set aside to rest for a few minutes.

    Assemble the Dish:

    • Place some noodles in the bottom of your bowl, and stir in a bit of the peanut sauce. This will help loosen up the noodles. Top with some of the cooked veggies.
    • Remove the chicken from the skewers and place a few pieces of chicken in the bowl.
    • Top everything with more peanut sauce, and the crushed roasted peanuts (if using).

    Notes

    If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in advance so they don't burn on the grill.
    Substitute Tamari for the Soy Sauce to make this dish Gluten-free

      Love the noodles and the flavoring in this and especially the fact that you used the George Foreman grill! That is one of my favorite weapons in my kitchen. So glad I found your blog. Happy Friday!

      Hi, Shareba! I tend to make a lot of the same dinners too, since I know that they will be hits with my kids. I'm looking forward to trying this new recipe -- especially because it's full of ingredients that I know my family enjoys! Pinned!

      This looks so delicious! I get stuck in a dinner rut all the time. We always have the same things over and over. I recently tried to be good and try a lot of new things from Pinterest but then fell back into my rut. I might set a goal of one new dish a week. Thanks for sharing.

        It's so easy to make the same thing week after week! Trying one new dish a week sounds like a good plan though.
