Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to the oven and roast 8-10 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest, then slice. Cook the Pasta Boil pasta in well-salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining. Return drained pasta to the pot. Make the Sauce In a saucepan over medium heat, sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add Gochujang, peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cream. Simmer 2-3 minutes until smooth. Stir in chili crunch. Begin adding reserved past water gradually (up to one cup) until the sauce is silky and coats the back of a spoon. Taste and adjust salt as needed. Finish & Plate Toss pasta with warm sauce, adding additional pasta water as needed. Plate in swirls or nests. Top with sliced chicken (or one ounce roasted peanuts for vegetarian option). Garnish with jalapeño slices, fresh basil, and a drizzle of olive oil. Notes Up to one cup pasta water gives flexibility. Use as needed to keep the sauce glossy and fluid. Chili crunch adds boldness. Spoon extra over the top for heat lovers. Consider finishing with toasted sesame seeds or lime zest for added complexity. noodlespeanut butter 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail previous New CHOP Research Signals Hope for Reducing Childhood Food Allergies next Peanut Butter Bacon Breakfast Burrito More Like This Peanut Butter Bacon Breakfast Burrito Butterfinger® Bites Peanut Butter Pudding Cake PB&J “Sushi” Rolls Trout Nutter-dine Peanutty Jolly Jelly Bites Kung Pao Sloppy Joes Peanut Butter Apple Breakfast Tarts Georgia Snowball Cookies Halloween Treats
