Chicken Peanut Noodles

We LOVE peanut noodles. We've made them many times for Fat Fridays and never get sick of them. It's a great excuse to eat pasta for lunch because you're generally adding a bunch of fabulous veggies so you can pretend it's health food.

Chicken is done!

Ramen noodles make the best peanut noodles! Just throw away the gross flavor packets. Unless you're Katrina...then you hoard them for unforeseen salt emergencies.
