Ingredients
  

Chicken/ Chickpea Marinade

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce/ gluten free tamari
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • pinch of pink Himalayan sea salt and fresh ground pepper
  • 5 ounce chicken breast or 1, 14 ounce can of chickpeas

Noodle Salad

  • 1 package rice noodles
  • 1 bell pepper, cored, seeded, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  • handful cilantro, loosely chopped
  • 1/2 cup sprouted bean spouts
  • 1 cup purple cabbage, chopped

Spicy Peanut Sauce

  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter or 1 cup raw peanuts
  • 2 limes juice of 2 large limes
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
  • 1/2 piece fresh ginger, peeled
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame or coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp dark maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp chipotle chilli pepper

Instructions
 

  • Whisk rice vinegar, olive oil and gluten-free tamari. Pour over chicken and bake in the oven at 425º for 45 minutes. Place the marinade and chicken in a sealable bag and refrigerate for 2-4 hours to enhance flavor. If you’re short of time, it still tastes great if you want to quickly create this healthy dinner, without taking the time to marinate the chicken.
  • For the chickpea option, use the same marinade recipe and soak the chickpeas for about 30 minutes, and then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 425 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.
  • Place noodles in a large heatproof bowl and pour boiling water overtop and let sit for 3-4 minutes, until noodles are soft. Then drain and place back into the bow
  • Top the noodles with shredded carrot, bell pepper slices, purple cabbage, chopped cilantro and sprouted bean sprouts
  • Place all the sauce ingredients into a blender and process until well blended. You can add additional warm water if you desire a thinner sauce. * note: if you are using whole peanuts versus peanut butter, place peanuts in first to process to a powder, then add all the ingredients and blend.
  • Top with sliced chicken or roasted chickpeas, pour the sauce over top, mix and bon appetit!
