Peanut Butter Chicken Pasta image

My family's favorite. Always a big hit,. Similar to other recipes listed, however we never add vinegar. Looks great on a platter and we have served it lots of times for guests. The original recipe called for this dish to be served cold as a pasta salad. However, I love it hot right off the stove, or heated as leftovers.

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 lb skinless chicken breast, cut in strips
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 can low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 -2 tablespoon kung pao sauce
1 -2 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon black bean garlic sauce
1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce or 1 teaspoon chili sauce
1 -2 drop fish sauce, very hot
1 package fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/4-1/2 lb snow peas, cut in half
1/2 can sliced water chestnuts
1 lb cooked linguine, break in half when cooking

Steps:

  • Heat Peanut Oil, and Sesame Oil in a wok.
  • Add Garlic and Ginger, quickly saute.
  • Stir Fry Chicken Strips until slightly browned.
  • Add Peanut Butter to Wok, stir Chicken Broth and Soy Sauce into Peanut Butter to dilute.
  • Add Kung Pao Sauce, Hoisin Sauce, Garlic Black Bean Sauce, Chili Garlic Sauce, Fish Sauce (see note below) Add Mushrooms, Snowpeas and Water Chestnuts.
  • Cook on medium heat about 5 min.
  • Serve over Linguine.
  • Note: We like this dish really spicy and add more of these sauces at the table after serving the kids.
  • The original recipe just called for Kung Pao Sauce and Sezchwan Sauce--I can never find Sezchwan Sauce and have to stockpile Kung Pao Sauce, so we rely on all of the sauces.
  • Of course, the dish is slightly different each time we make it.
