A delightful Thai-inspired dish featuring tender chicken in a creamy peanut and coconut sauce, served over noodles.
Combine the coconut milk, peanut butter, and soy sauce in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth.
Stir constantly to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
Add the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, curry powder, cumin, and minced garlic to the sauce, stirring until well combined.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken pieces until golden and cooked through.
Cut the chicken into even pieces for uniform cooking.
Add the shredded carrots and chopped green onions to the skillet, cooking until slightly softened.
Stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
Cook the noodles according to package instructions, then drain.
Rinse the noodles with cold water to prevent sticking.
Combine the chicken, vegetables, and sauce in the skillet, stirring to coat evenly.
Add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick.
Serve the chicken and sauce over the noodles, garnishing with toasted peanuts and a squeeze of fresh lime.
Arrange the dish attractively for a restaurant-style presentation.
