Steps:
- Add the vegetable oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and mostly cooked through, about 8 minutes.
- Add the green beans and saute until slightly brown but still bright green, about 2 more minutes.
- Cook the pasta to al dente according to the directions on the package.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. Whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, sugar, chile oil, lime juice and 1/3 cup water in a medium bowl or large measuring cup (the peanut butter will not fully incorporate). Set aside.
- Add the ginger and garlic to the skillet with the chicken and beans. Cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the curry powder and stir until toasted, about 20 seconds.
- Pour the coconut milk mixture into the skillet, making sure to get all of the peanut butter out of the bowl. Scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet and cook until the sauce boils and thickens slightly, about 4 minutes.
- Drain the pasta and pour into the skillet, then carefully toss to coat. Gently tip the pasta onto a serving platter. Garnish with peanuts, cilantro and lime wedges.
CHICKEN & PASTA IN PEANUT SAUCE
The first time I used a bottled sauce and did not like it but then I found Sharon123's recipe for Peanut Sauce and fell in love! Recipe #37244 is what I used but use whatever peanut sauce that fits your taste buds. I do know that a good quality peanut sauce can make or break this recipe. Nice simple meal to put on the table even during a busy week.

THAI PEANUT CHICKEN
This is a very tasty Asian-inspired dish made with chicken and broccoli in a spicy peanut sauce. If you like it mild, use less cayenne, like it spicy, use more. If you're salt conscious, use low sodium soy sauce.

THAI PASTA WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
We love how the whole wheat pasta and crisp, raw vegetables blend with the rich and creamy peanut sauce. The addition of fresh lime juice really brightens the flavor of the dish. Some eat it hot, but my husband and I prefer to wait until it's closer to room temperature. -Donna McCallie, Lake Park, Florida

PEANUT BUTTER CHICKEN PASTA
My family's favorite. Always a big hit,. Similar to other recipes listed, however we never add vinegar. Looks great on a platter and we have served it lots of times for guests. The original recipe called for this dish to be served cold as a pasta salad. However, I love it hot right off the stove, or heated as leftovers.

Steps:
- Heat Peanut Oil, and Sesame Oil in a wok.

- Stir Fry Chicken Strips until slightly browned.
- Add Peanut Butter to Wok, stir Chicken Broth and Soy Sauce into Peanut Butter to dilute.
- Add Kung Pao Sauce, Hoisin Sauce, Garlic Black Bean Sauce, Chili Garlic Sauce, Fish Sauce (see note below) Add Mushrooms, Snowpeas and Water Chestnuts.

- Note: We like this dish really spicy and add more of these sauces at the table after serving the kids.
- The original recipe just called for Kung Pao Sauce and Sezchwan Sauce--I can never find Sezchwan Sauce and have to stockpile Kung Pao Sauce, so we rely on all of the sauces.
- Of course, the dish is slightly different each time we make it.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are both good choices for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, be sure to slice them thinly so that they cook evenly.
- Use a flavorful peanut sauce: The peanut sauce is the star of this dish, so be sure to make it flavorful. Use a good quality peanut butter and add some fresh ginger, garlic, and lime juice.
- Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: The chicken should be cooked until it's no longer pink in the center. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the vegetables at the end: The vegetables should be added to the pasta at the end of the cooking process so that they don't overcook. This will help them retain their鮮豔 color and crisp texture.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Chicken pasta in peanut sauce is a quick and easy dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of flavors in this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook chicken, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
