Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb linguine
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 juiced large lime
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos
  • 1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot flour
  • 12 oz. defrosted shelled edamame
  • 1 cup shredded carrot

For the Ginger Soy Chicken:

  • 2 chicken breasts, trimmed
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground garlic
  • 1/2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • Cube the chicken and heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and then sauté the chicken for about 8 mins.
  • In a small bowl, combine: 1/4 cup coconut aminos, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1 tsp garlic, 1/2 tbsp sugar and the cornstarch slurry. Mix well and add to the skillet. Turn to low and heat until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, make the Creamy Peanut Sauce by whisking together: 1/2 cup coconut aminos, 1/4 cup peanut butter, 4 cloves minced garlic, juice of 1 lime, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper, 1/2 cup broth, 1/2 cup coconut milk and 1 tbsp corn starch.
  • Cook the linguine in a large pot of salted water until al dente.
  • While the pasta is draining, keep the pot on medium-low and add the Creamy Peanut Sauce, stirring until it thickens slightly. Add the pasta back into the pot and toss to coat the noodles with the sauce.
  • Mix in the edamame and shredded carrot, and top the bowls with the Ginger Soy Chicken, extra lime juice, sesame seeds or chopped peanuts!
