Directions
- Boil water in a medium saucepan, then remove from heat and add the rice noodles. Soak 10 minutes or per package directions, then drain and rinse with cold water.
- Wash and dry the cucumbers, green onions, sugar snap peas, and carrots (if using the pre-shredded carrots, skip prep here).
- Slice the green onions into thin rounds and set them in a small bowl. Halve the snap peas and add them to the bowl with the green onions.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Pat the chicken dry, cut into bite-sized pieces, and season with salt and pepper.
- When the skillet is hot, drizzle with oil and swirl to coat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and just about cooked through.
- Add the green onions and snap peas to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is fully cooked, about 3–4 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, trim and halve the cucumber lengthwise, then cut into thin half-moons. When the chicken and veggies are done, stir in the peanut sauce, water, and soy sauce; cook until the sauce is warm and slightly thickened, 2–3 minutes.
Two tips
- Prep the cucumber and greens earlier in the day so assembly goes faster at dinnertime.
- Leftovers can be kept for a day and reheated gently; swap in extra cucumber or carrot ribbons for additional crunch.
