Chicken Sesame Noodles Recipe

I made these chicken sesame noodles as a cold dish, perfect for cooking in advance – with no need to reheat. It’s also a great choice for a picnic. Active prep time is short, although you do need to think ahead so you can marinade the chicken properly.

You can serve it with a hot vegetable or a cold salad and you have a complete meal. Or serve as a side dish when you’re entertaining. My baby loved slurping this up, and he enjoyed the chicken as well.

Chicken Sesame Noodles:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 lb spaghetti, cooked, drained, and rinsed
• 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds

Marinade:

• 1 cup apple juice
• 1 T. lemon juice
• 1 T brown sugar
• 1 T soy sauce

Dressing:

• 3 T soy sauce
• 1 T toasted sesame oil
• 2 T red wine vinegar
• 1 t garlic powder
• 1 t hot sauce
• 1 T sugar

 Directions:

• Mix together marinade ingredients in a bowl or resealable bag. Poke holes in the raw chicken and allow to marinate overnight.
• Grill chicken until slightly charred and cooked through. Alternatively, you can bake chicken on 350 for an hour, or until fully cooked. (This time is a rough estimate and will vary greatly depending on how thick it is.)
• Cook spaghetti, drain, and rinse.
• Mix together the dressing ingredients.
• Tear chicken into bite size pieces.
• Mix together chicken pieces, pasta, and dressing. Top with toasted sesame seeds.
