This recipe was a bit exotic for our usual fare, but we actually liked it a lot, AND it was very easy, with common ingredients. I like to add sauteed red peppers and onions to the sauce. It's also even better served over Jasmine Rice instead of noodles.
---------------------------------------------------
3 oz uncooked fettuccine (whole wheat if you want to be healthy)
1/2 C salsa
2 Tbsp reduced-fat creamy peanut butter
1 Tbsp orange juice
1 1/2 tsp honey
1 tsp soy sauce
Crushed red pepper to taste
1 cup cubed, cooked chicken breast
1 Tbsp chopped unsalted peanuts
1 Tbsp minced cilantro
---------------------------------------------------
1. Cook fettuccine according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe dish, combine the salsa, peanut butter, orange juice, honey and soy sauce. Cover and microwave on high for 1 minute; stir. Add the crushed red pepper till you get your preferred amount of spice. Add the chicken and heat through.
3. Drain fettuccine. Serve with chicken mixture. Garnish with peanuts and cilantro.
