Ingredients

Teriyaki Chicken and Vegetables

  • 16 oz. Dry Farfalle bow ties
  • 3 Carrots about 2 Cups, julienne
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper chopped
  • 1 1/2 Cups Frozen or Sugar Snap Peas
  • 1 Cup Chicken cooked and chopped
  • 1/2 Cup Almonds whole
  • 1/4 Cup Green onions chopped fine
  • 1/4 Cup Cilantro chopped fine
  • 3 Cups Loose Leaf Spinach optional

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/3 Cup Rice Vinegar
  • 1/3 Cup Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 Cup Canola Oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground Ginger
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 Cup Sesame Seeds

Instructions

  • Add all Teriyaki Sauce ingredients to a pint-sized mason jar and screw on a tight-fitting lid. Shake the jar until the honey is dissolved. Set aside.
  • In a large pot, bring to boil 4 quarts of water and cook the pasta until al dente.
  • Strain pasta from pan and use the same hot water to steam the bell peppers, carrots and peas about 5 minutes.
  • Once the vegetables are crisp tender, remove steamer from pot and drain water. Return pasta, vegetables, chicken, herbs and teriyaki sauce to the large pot. Stir to combine.
  • Serve warm over 1/2 cup loose leaf spinach (optional).

Notes

For the chicken, I always have frozen bags of rotisserie chicken on hand, so I use that. You could boil a chicken breast and use that as well.
