Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast or Thighs
  • Fresh or Dried Udon Noodles
  • Mayonnaise
  • Sweet Chili Sauce
  • Sriracha
  • Creamy Peanut Butter
  • Rice Vinegar
  • Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • Sesame Oil
  • Cucumber
  • Shredded Carrots
  • Green Onions (Scallions)
  • Crushed Roasted Peanuts
  • Fresh Cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Chicken: Poaching Method: Place your chicken breasts or thighs in a pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C). Remove the chicken from the water and let it cool slightly on a cutting board. Once cool enough to handle, use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces, or dice it.
  2. Baking Method: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season chicken with salt and pepper, place on a baking sheet, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. Shred or dice once cooled.
  3. Whip Up the Bang Bang Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, creamy peanut butter, rice vinegar, low-sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil. Whisk vigorously until the sauce is completely smooth, creamy, and well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  4. Toss the Chicken with Sauce: Add the shredded or diced cooked chicken to the bowl with the Bang Bang sauce. Stir well, ensuring every piece of chicken is generously coated in that luscious sauce.
  5. Cook the Udon Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the udon noodles (fresh or dried) and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain the noodles thoroughly and rinse them briefly with cold water.
  6. Prepare Your Fresh Veggies & Garnishes: While the noodles are cooking, thinly slice or julienne your cucumber and carrots. Slice your green onions. Crush your roasted peanuts.
  7. Assemble Your Bang Bang Chicken Udon Noodle Bowls: Divide the cooked and drained udon noodles evenly among serving bowls. Spoon a generous amount of the saucy Bang Bang chicken over the noodles in each bowl. Arrange the fresh cucumber and shredded carrots around the chicken and noodles. Finish with a sprinkle of sliced green onions, crushed roasted peanuts, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
