Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 large breasts)
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Three 3-ounce packages dried ramen noodles, flavor packets discarded
3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
One 14.5-ounce can cut green beans, well drained
2 cups shredded red cabbage
3/4 cup fresh mint or cilantro leaves (or a combination), roughly chopped
1 carrot, grated
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha
1/4 cup honey-roasted peanuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Toss the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of the honey, 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and broil, flipping halfway, until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ramen for as long as specified on the package directions, then drain in a colander and set aside.
  • Whisk 2 tablespoons of the rice vinegar with 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large bowl. Add the green beans, cabbage, herbs and carrots and toss to coat.
  • Whisk together the peanut butter, sriracha, 1/3 cup warm water, the remaining 2 tablespoons honey and remaining 1 tablespoon each sesame oil and vinegar in a large bowl until well combined. Season with salt. Add the noodles and toss to combine.
  • Thinly slice the chicken. Divide the noodles among 4 bowls and top with the green bean slaw, chicken and peanuts.
