Peanut Chicken with Noodles

Creamy peanut butter, dark sesame oil, and Japanese soba noodles give this dish a punch of protein and delicious nutty flavor. If you don't want to fire up the grill, simply poach, bake, or pan-cook the chicken. Look for soba noodles and rice vinegar in the Asian section of your supermarket or health food store.
