I tried Thai


Lately, Nate and I have been discussing eating at a Thai restaurant. But today was spent watching football, walking the dog and doing yard work. It was the perfect day to spend working outside and around the house. So, I decided to cook at home. Thai Chicken is what I came up with. Here is the recipe. Check it out. It's adapted from "Good Seasons Casual Entertaining," a gift from my sister a few Christmases ago.
Thai Chicken and Sesame Noodles
1 cup Asian Salad dressing, divided
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves cut into strips
2 tablespoons each peanut butter and honey
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (more if you like heat)
8 ounces thin spaghetti, cooked and drained
3/4 cup each grated carrot and sliced green onions
Pour 1/3 cup of the dressing over chicken in medium bowl; toss to coat. Cover. Refrigerate 1 hour to marinate. Drain; discard dressing.
Mix remaining 2/3 cup dressing, peanut butter, honey and pepper; set aside.
Cook chicken in a large skillet on medium-high heat about 8 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Mix chicken, spaghetti, carrots and onions in a large bowl; toss to coat. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
