Peanut Chicken Noodle Salad

 

Two weeks ago on the blog, we celebrated National Siblings’ Day with my Sisters’ Satay Sauce! As promised, I’ve rebooted the Sisters’ Satay Sauce and used it with leftover grilled chicken (or roasted chicken) to turn it into a cold Peanut Chicken Noodle Salad. The nice part about this reboot is that you can make it fairly quickly – you just need some chopping time!

The Peanut Chicken Noodle Salad is pretty large, good for a serious main course! The best part? You are using your leftovers to create a totally different meal!

This dish is suitable for celiacs or those following gluten-free diets (please use Tamari or gluten-free soy sauce for the Sisters’ Satay Sauce). 

Note: This dish contains peanuts and is not suitable for those who have nut allergies.
