Once Spinach Tiger is coming at you with a big fat healthy chicken pasta dish. Thai Peanut Noodles are naturally gluten free and the Thai peanut sauce recipe uses tamari, which is gluten free.
The Chicken Skewer Recipe is so Versatile
The sauce can be used for this noodle dish, just for chicken skewers, for chicken tenders, for veggies, or anything else that takes your imagination. You could even put it on these meatballs. I took the inspiration from my thai peanut salad dressing and thought this would be so good in a pasta dish.
The recipe itself has a lot of flavor and a lot of texture from the vegetables and the chopped peanuts. It was hard not to go back for seconds.
The key to a chicken skewer recipe is marinating them at least for an hour with an acid, preferably lime with olive oil and salt. They only take a few minutes on a grill on each side.
Thai Peanut Noodles Offer Lots of Options
You could skip the grill and pan fry your tenders, or add in chicken breasts. You could also replace the chicken with shrimp as another option.
If you like these flavors, you’ll probably love this Ginger Roasted Salmon with with Orange Ginger Beets.
