Noodles with Thai Peanut Sauce, Chicken, and Carrot--Easy Kid Fuel

Many weekends when my kids have soccer games or tournaments, they get sick of concession stand hot dogs and hamburgers.  As a healthy and tasty alternative, I often whip up a pile of noodles the night before and stir in either a quick Alfredo sauce or use jarred Thai peanut sauce.

In this version, I used partially whole grain spaghetti, a decent jarred Thai peanut sauce ("Bankok Padang"), shredded carrots, and leftover braised chicken.  Sometimes I'll toss chopped green onion and peanuts for even more flavor.

My son loves spicy food but you can easily use less of the sauce, or buy a milder version.  When I make something like this for myself, I will squeeze lime juice on top and use julienned red pepper instead of carrot.
