Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
1 mandarin orange, juiced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces udon noodles
1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 medium sweet onion, roughly chopped
1 medium carrot, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups broccoli florets
1 (15 ounce) can mixed stir-fry vegetables, drained
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce

Steps:

  • Place chicken into a resealable zip-top bag (such as Ziploc®). Add mandarin orange juice, lemon juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and smashed garlic. Close the bag tightly and mix the marinade into the chicken. Place into a refrigerator and let rest for 1 hour.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add chicken and marinade; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes.
  • While chicken cooks, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook udon in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Stir bell pepper, onion, carrot, and minced garlic into the skillet with chicken. Reduce heat to medium and cover. Cook for 6 minutes. Add broccoli, cover, and cook for 3 minutes more. Add stir-fry vegetables and mix well. Stir in peanut butter and teriyaki sauce. Add drained udon and heat through, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
