Thai
Chicken Pasta Recipe
I
try to buy fresh chicken when it’s on sale. I cook a big batch in the slow
cooker, then cut it up and package it in small amounts suitable for recipes
like this. When I want it, I just need to pull it out of the freezer and let it
thaw.
Ingredients

3
ounces uncooked whole wheat linguine
1/2
cup salsa
2
tablespoons reduced-fat creamy peanut butter
1
tablespoon orange juice

Meanwhile,
in a microwave-safe dish, combine the salsa, peanut butter, orange juice, honey
and soy sauce. Cover and microwave on high for 1 minute; stir. Add the chicken;
