Thai Chicken Salad

This recipe really belongs to Chef S, but I had the document up and knew Chef Z wanted it. It's delish and a staple at our house. Thanks S!


2-3 chicken breasts, boiled or simmered in bouillon and shredded
1 pkg spaghetti or linguini noodles, cooked and cooled
1 ½ Tbs sesame oil
2 Tbs olive oil
2 Tbs sugar
½-1 tsp chili powder
2-3 Tbs soy sauce
2 Tbs peanut butter

Warm the oils, sugar, chili powder, and soy sauce in a small bowl in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Add the peanut butter and mix until smooth. Add the shredded chicken and noodles and stir into the sauce. Serve over lettuce.

Chef S wants to add a little note here - this recipe has evolved at our house over the years. My favorite lettuce to serve it over is the spring mix. You can use the rice noodles if you prefer. We also add shredded carrots, snow peas (which we've boiled for a couple minutes), cilantro on top, and squeeze lime juice on it. There are lots of ways to mix it up!
