Cook the Chicken: Heat oil (peanut or avocado) in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. We used peanut oil for this stir fry. Trim the chicken thighs and add them to the hot oil. Brown the chicken on one side, then flip to brown the other side.
Add Sauces: Pour the peanut sauce and soy sauce into the pan, mixing them with the chicken. Feel free to experiment with other sauces, but the combination of peanut and soy sauces gives a delicious flavor.
Cook the Noodles: Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions.
Cook the Vegetables: Add all the vegetables, except the broccoli florets, to the pan with the chicken. Cover and cook until the vegetables reach your desired tenderness.
Combine Ingredients: Cut the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Add the broccoli florets and cooked noodles to the pan. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
