Chicken with Broccoli Peanut Sauce is so delicious and so easy to make.  In addition, we are always looking for something easy to make for dinner that is gluten-free and dairy-free for our grandson.  As as result, I use this quick chicken casserole often!

This Recipe using Rice Noodles, from Becky at Sew Need It, was modified from a Big Oven Recipe.   Since our grandson cannot have peanut butter,  we substituted sunflower butter!  But, if you can eat peanut butter, go for it!

Our grandson loves this Chicken with Broccoli Peanut Sauce meal. We modify lots of recipes, because of food allergies in our family.   For example, If you enjoy fish, the chicken can easily be substituted with a white fish.  And, if you are Vegan, you can use Butler’s Soy Curls instead of chicken or fish, for example!   I hope you enjoy this simple flavorful recipe!
