Noodles & Veggies
Pesto
Optional Garnish
1. Place a large pan over medium heat and warm the avocado oil. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs and brown on all sides for about 10 minutes.
2. Add the diced onion to the chicken and sauté for an additional 5 minutes.
3. Pour the liquid of choice into the pan, reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, make the pesto sauce by combining all of the ingredients into a food processor. Pulse until a very thick pesto is created, avoid over processing (you want the nuts to keep some texture). When the pesto is ready, transfer into a container and chill in the fridge.
5. Once the chicken has cooked for 10 minutes, remove the cover and allow the liquids to evaporate a bit while preparing the soba noodles. Bring a pot filled with water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the soba noodles, cook according to package directions and drain.
6. Once the chicken liquids have reduced, add the coconut milk to the pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
7. Add the asparagus to the chicken, stir, then add the pesto and stir. Simmer for 2 minutes before adding the zucchini noodles, and chili (if using). Toss together.
8. Gently incorporate soba noodles.
9. Serve in individual bowls and top with sliced almonds, if desired.
