Asian Peanut Noodles with Chicken

So lately we have been trying to be a little more conscious of what (and how much) we eat in a real solid attempt at getting healthier! So far, I have to say it is actually working, which is really rewarding seeing results. This isn't about to become a weight loss or fitness blog though, don't you worry. I thing I made this week was Asian Peanut Noodles with Chicken from Skinnytaste. I cannot recommend this website enough, they seem to have everything made a little healthier. This particular meal is extremely pad thai adjacent, but much easier, and with fewer ingredients than anything authentic. The best part about it - a whole bowl like this is under 500 calories.

To make the sauce you will need:

• 1 cup chicken broth
• 5 tbsp (70g) smooth peanut butter
