Peanut Asian noodles & Chicken

I have a new go to dinner!  There is a recipe on this blog for Pad Thai that I Love but I just can never find the time to make it, don't get me wrong it is worth it but with 3 kids with one on the way dinner needs to be quick.  So here is my simplified version:

1 TBSP Ginger Root Puree** (if you don't have gingerroot it will still be good but ground ginger doesn't have the same flavor so I would just leave it out)
1 TBSP Sesame Oil
4 TBSP (1/4C) Soy Sauce or Braggs,  I use the TBSP measurement to save a dish to wash  :)
1/2 tsp Siracha
1/2 C Creamy Peanut Butter

I mixed these in a bowl and microwaved to soften the PB but it never combined all the way and that is okay it will later.  :)

I diced some chicken and browned it, and boiled some noodles.  We had it once with Linguine and once with spaghetti, whatever noodle you favor or happen to have on hand.

Then mix them all in a pot and stir well.

At this point you can steam whatever veggies you want, we went with broccoli, but you could add so much more at this point, whatever you have on hand.  It is also still good without veggies if you don't have any on hand.  :)

**I buy a larger gingerroot peel it, dice it and then puree it in the magic bullet or blender with a little water and then freeze it in a mini muffin pan like they did here with cilantro, but I line the pan with saran wrap to make it easy to remove from the pan.  :)
