Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup wheat-free tamari (for gluten free) or soy sauce
- ½ cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon peeled fresh ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 onion, sliced
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- Toasted sesame seeds, to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk the tamari or soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and curry powder together in an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Add the chicken and onion, turning to coat with the marinade. Cover and let marinate at room temperature 1 hour or refrigerate up to 3 hours, turning the chicken occasionally.
- Cook the rice noodles according to the package directions.
- Meanwhile, prepare your barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat your oven broiler.
- Remove the chicken from marinade. Strain the marinade into a medium saucepan, and add the broth. Boil until the sauce coats a spoon, about 12 minutes.
- Once your grill is preheated, spray the chicken with oil. Grill it for about 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Slice each chicken breast.
- Divide the rice noodles between 4 bowls, top each with 1 sliced chicken breast, and spoon the sauce over top. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, if using.
