Thai Chicken Noodles
A healthy flavorful Thai chicken dish with fresh vegetables all sauteed in a spicy peanut sauce
This gluten-free and dairy-free thai peanut chicken with noodles is so fresh and flavorful and is way better than takeout.
It's the New Year and we all need healthy dinners that can be made in less than 30 minutes. I spent a large portion of the last six years on gluten-free and dairy-free diets. During that time, I worked to find super flavorful meals that were also incredibly healthy that helped heal my body. These Thai Chicken Noodles with peanut sauce fits the bill and became a family favorite.
One of my best friends has dealt with celiac disease for over 15 years. She is always asking me to create recipes that she can eat and this is one of them. It's shocking to see so many people out there struggling with food intolerance and allergies.
Thai Chicken Noodles start by sauteing lean chicken breast and an assortment of peppers in a touch of oil. The sauce keeps you guessing and is made with ginger, chili garlic sauce, hoisin sauce, a touch of peanut butter, and chicken broth. I could lick this entire bowl of sauce!
How to make Thai Chicken Noodles:
- Start by sauteeing diced chicken breast in oil until almost cooked through. Add red peppers, orange peppers, and yellow peppers and saute for several minutes.
- Make a spicy peanut sauce by whisking together chicken broth, ginger, chili garlic sauce, hoisin sauce, and peanut butter. Add to chicken mixture and let the sauce thicken.
- Toss cooked rice noodles with chicken and peanut sauce. Garnish with cilantro, chopped peanuts, and green onions.
This chicken stir-fry is made with rice noodles. They are gluten-free and are a nice alternative to rice. Also, these Thai Chicken Noodles are made in less than 30 minutes, which is always a good thing!
If you love peanut butter and want to add more peanut butter flavor, add an extra 1 Tablespoon of peanut butter to the sauce. You can thin out the sauce with by adding ¼ cup of canned coconut milk to add some coconut flavor.

So good! Made without the chili garlic sauce since I’ve got some very spice sensitive kids. Added it back in to individual plates as wanted. Will make again!! Thank you!
Julie
This was so good! I made it exactly as the recipe stated and everyone loved it. I didn’t expect it to be as spicy though so next time I’ll go easy on the chili sauce. Definitely will make this again.

We made this last night and It was delicious!! My husband liked the spice level. I loved the flavor and that it was so easy to put together! We love your recipes. My husband said (before I found this last night), “see if the honey lady has a chicken meal we might like!” 🙂

This was really tasty. I doubled everything in the sauce because I had twice the noodles. (didn't double the ginger because I'm not a huge fan of ginger). It turned out great! I don't like a lot of spice, but I felt like this was just right. It was a little too spicy for my kinds unfortunately. We recently found out that my daughter is allergic to wheat. I will tweak it till my girls like it. Thank you!

Just wanted to report back that my family loved this! We are big fans of flavor and spice, and this had a good kick to it. I added some mushrooms and bok choy just because I had them on hand; I love how versatile this is.
