Chicken and Noodle Lunch with Peanut Sauce

This is a super easy make-ahead lunch that beats any Lean Cuisine meal:

you will need:

1 bag frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts

spice seasoning of choice mine is http://shop.tonychachere.com/seasonings-c-8030.html

1 package Soba noodles
Soba are a non-wheat noodle made from buckwheat, they have a nutty flavor, taste awesome and can be found in the Asian section of the grocery store or ordered online at :

1 bottle peanut sauce

Sugar snap peas or mushrooms or zucchini


Pre-bake chicken breasts, I bake mine according to package directions, after sprinkling with Chachere's Creole Seasoning.

I under-bake just a little so that the chicken doesn't dry out and get rubbery when re-heated
during the week.

Place a large pot of water over high heat, bring to a boil and add 1 whole package Soba noodles
Cook 5 minutes, til tender but be careful, they get mushy, drain and rinse in cool water, return to pot and add 1 tbsp olive oil to coat.

In plasticware weigh out your noodles for each lunch (I eat 2oz per serving), add chopped, pre-cooked chicken in the amount you need (mine is 4oz), and top with 1 tbsp peanut sauce. I find this in the Asian section of the grocery, too.


I also add sauteed mushrooms or zucchini (I saute it with garlic and a little soy sauce and red pepper flakes), or a side of crunchy veggies like sugar snap peas.

Easy peasy and tasty! now you have lunch for the week!
