Let me introduce you to my new favorite dinner. I’m certain it’s my favorite because I couldn’t stop slurping the peanut butter coated sweet potato noodles out of my bowl. I licked that bowl clean like you wouldn’t believe.
You know there’s no stopping me when it comes to that PB.
And ummm yes this dinner is everything I’ve been dreaming about in my life. SWEET POTATO NOODLES IN A SPICY THAI PEANUT SAUCE.
Tell me, how delicious does that sound? While I could describe it to you (in incredible adjectives), but the only real way to experience this phenomenal flavor is to try it yourself.
And did I mention that you can have this gorgeous, healthy dinner on your table in less than 30 minutes? YASSSSSS.
So, let’s chat about ingredients in this spicy thai peanut chicken stir fry before you get cookin’:
First of all I used organic chicken breast, which in my opinion, is what you should be using these days. Just Bare Chicken is one of my favorite brands because they’re also hand-trimmed, which means I have less prep work to do.
Next up, you’re probably wondering about the sweet potato noodles. To create the ‘noodles’, all I used was this spiralizer I purchased off Amazon. If you don’t own a spiralizer yet, you should definitely think about purchasing one; it’s a great way to enjoy more veggies and create beautiful, lower carb meals.
And finally, the peanut sauce. It’s a little spin off of my Thai peanut sauce that was originally used in this all time AK favorite quinoa salad. I added a little sriracha and an almond (or coconut milk) to make it both spicy and saucy.
After I took my first bite I ascended to heaven. Yes, it was that good. And I felt even better than it was healthy and packed with good fats, fiber and plenty of protein (36g!). Please don’t doubt me when I say that YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS!
Slurp those noodles up, my little peanut butter lovers. xo!

A slightly spicy and addicting Thai peanut sweet potato noodle stir fry with chicken and veggies all on top of gorgeous spiralized sweet potato noodles. Healthy, protein-packed and ready in less than 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup all natural creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons gluten free soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- 1-2 tablespoons sriracha sauce, depending on how spicy you like things
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk from the carton (or light coconut milk from the can)
- For the stir fry:
- 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil, divided
- 1 pound organic chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 2 1/2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- For garnish: green onions, chopped peanuts, and cilantro, if desired
Instructions
-
Make the sauce: In a medium bowl whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sriracha, honey, sesame oil and almond/coconut milk until smooth. Set aside.
-
Cut the ends off of the sweet potato and then use your spiralizer to spiralize it; if you don't have a spiralizer you can use a julienne peeler to make the noodles. Set noodles aside.
-
Next season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium high heat. Once oil is hot, add chicken pieces and cook for 4-6 minutes or until no longer pink. Once cooked through, remove chicken and transfer to a bowl.
-
Add in the other 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil to the skillet along with broccoli florets and red pepper strips. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the broccoli is a little tender, then add in sweet potato noodles and cook for 1-2 minutes longer.
-
Next add in peanut sauce and chicken; stirring to coat veggies. Reduce heat to medium low and cook for another few minutes until sweet potato noodles are al dente. Garnish with green onions, chopped peanuts, and cilantro, if desired. Serves 4.
Recipe Notes
Instead of peanut butter, you may use another nut butter such as almond or cashew butter. I would recommend cashew butter.

Love the all the flavors going on in here. Since I am Vegan, I will sub tofu for chicken. Can’t wait to try it!
I love the idea of sweet potato noodles and will have to give this a try. Looks so flavorful!

I love this! I have made sweet potato noodles only a couple of times before but never thought to do a thai peanut sauce with them. Genius!
OK, I’ve been meaning to get out there and try using a spiralizer. This recipe just sent me over the edge! It’s officially on my birthday list (it’s soon–so my husband now knows it’s at the top of the list!). Can’t wait to give this a try!
This looks incredible! Cannot wait to try 🙂

Sweet potato noodles and peanut sauce are my EVERYTHING. I can feel a dinner obsession coming on, and I think I’ll be eating this for the next few WEEKS. Pinned!
This is SO creative — and what a way to jazz up chicken — the combination is making my mouth water 🙂

I made this tonight and it was absolutely amazing even my picky husband approved! I was making inappropriate noises at the dinner table. I am not a huge sweet potato fan, but with this recipe I am!!! Wow!
5 stars!!

I made this last night and it was lovely I’ll definitely be making it again. I used slightly more broccoli and pepper than the recipe stated, and next time would probably add another veg as well and reduce the sweet potato by 1/4-1/3. I don’t have a spiraliser so used a julienne peeler, it worked well and was pretty easy though. I made two portions and had the second portion for lunch, it reheated well in the microwave.
Made this last night and it was awesome! I actually used PB2 and it still turned out delicious… and will have leftovers for days 🙂 thanks for another great and easy recipe!

Looks amazing! However, I’m not a huge broccoli fan, any suggestions on what to sub for it that might also be good in this recipe? Can’t wait to try it!
I love green beans!
Snow peas or asparagus

ohhhhh my goodness. Just made this for dinner and it was AMAZING! So tasty. My boyfriend loved it as well and said it is one of his favorite meals I’ve ever made (and I cook a lot!). Needless to say– definitely going in the regular rotation. So excited to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Thank you!!!

I just made this- although the sauce and everything is awesome, my sweet potatoes are still crunchy and tasteless! I know you are usually supposed to roast the sweet potatoes, but I just followed the directions on here. I have leftovers for this all week, anything I can do, or did I do something wrong?? I have the spiralizer, and did the noodles that way.
It sounds like you might not have sautéed them long enough in the pan. Add a little water next time and try them before adding the sauce to ensure they are cooked to your liking!

I made this for dinner last night, and both my boyfriend and I loved it! It was super filling and felt so much healthier than Thai takeout with actual noodles, and I’m excited to dig into the leftovers for lunch today. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to hear that Melissa!! ☺️

I’ve made this twice and it definitely takes longer than 30 min, but totally worth making!!
Tip: soften sweet potatoes 2 min in microwave before spiralizing. Also. Pre-blanch broccoli and sweet potato noodles before sautéing to decrease cooking time
Thanks for your note. I made it last week and I think it depends how you spiralize your sweet potatoes because they didn’t take long for me to cook at all. Mine were very thin! Thanks for the heads up though!!

That’s a good tip about softening the sweet potatoes! Mind were a bit thicker so they took longer (maybe I used the wrong blade attachment). I also doubled the sauce because I like things saucy – OMG I’d eat that sauce out of a leather boot! I confess that I did use canned coconut milk and it was AMAZING!!!!!

I am making this tonight but we are going to sub the chicken with chickpeas and are adding zucchini noodles. Hopefully it turns out well. I will let you know. Thanks for the recipe! 🙂

This is AWESOME. My Whole Foods sells sweet potato noodles in the produce aisle, which meant a super fast, delicious and nutritious meal. This one is a keeper!

This looks delicious!
Any idea how many pounds of sweet potatoes I need? I bought a bag and they seem on the small size.
I can’t wait to make this for dinner this week!

This recipe looks so yummy, and I cannot wait to try it. I do want to let you know however, that when attempting to access this recipe on my I-phone, both online and in the Pintrest app, it is completely spammed with the UberEats app. No matter what page of your website I visited, it would never load completely. It would get about 90% and then take me to the app store to buy Uber Eats. I had to whip out the old laptop to get this recipe.

Made this last night, and my husband had thirds! The sauce was amazing.
So glad you enjoyed it, Kelly!

I didn’t have any sweet potatoes on hand, so I got creative with chickpea pasta! I used the starchy pasta water in the sauce in place of the almond milk and it made a delicious and creamy peanut sauce! I tossed a dash of cornstarch in to thicken everything up.
Thanks for the flavorful inspiration!!
Sounds amazing though, I personally love chickpea pasta!
Making this tonight! So excited to try another one of your tasty healthy meals!
Made this tonight and added a little more PB and apple cider vinegar to the sauce. It was SO GOOD! Thanks for the fantastic recipe!
Thank you for making it!! And for leaving a comment 🙂
I made this recipe tonight as posted and only adjusted the shriracha by half to appeal to my non spicy food family. Everyone ate it, the consistency was excellent, but it received a non-repeat vote. It was nothing special and missing something said they.
I’m glad you guys tried it out!

Monique, I am making this and realized I only have canned coconut cream, would this work in the sauce? Maybe if I cut it with a little water? Trying to save a trip to the store :/

I liked this! Would make it a little spicier next time. Quick to pull together. Family friendly…..empty plate club!
I’m so glad! It’s a great weeknight go-to. Feel free to spice it up a little next time, too!
Hey!
I just wanted to say I L-O-V-E this recipe. It’s super creative and very delicious. I’ve tried it several times. Sometimes I make the recipe to the T and other times I mix and match what I have around the kitchen, but no matter what, it always turns out amazing!

We made this and it is something the whole family liked- including the little kids. Little ones helped me make the noodles and had a blast! I used orange peppers to hide in the potatoes. Definitely making a regular in our meal rotation.
Amazing! So glad the kiddos enjoyed this one, too 🙂 One of my go-to weeknight meals!
I made this last night and I swear the sauce almost didn’t make it to the pan, I wanted to drink it straight out of the bowl! I didn’t have sriracha (I know I know, but we’re Cholula disciples) so I used that and some Gochujang Chili paste and It. Was. Amazing. Green beans were a great sub for brocolli. Used the medium thickness spiralizer setting on my kitchenaid I might have cooked the sweet potatoes just a little bit more (Boyfriend was a little meh about them being crunchy, I loved it). For veggie eaters you can also omit the chicken and scramble an egg in there as well. Fantastic recipe! Thanks!
Isn’t the sauce amazing?! Your subs sound perfect in here. Chickpeas are also great for veggie eaters, but the egg sounds fantastic!
Just made this dish for dinner. Super delicious!
Sweet potato noodles were a success, I used a julienne blade. Didn’t have broccoli but I had asparagus and two red peppers,added garlic. Increased the milk,didn’t have peanuts,added some crunchy peanut butter. Good peanut taste! Thanks!!
Making this tomorrow! Would maple syrup work as a sub for the honey in this?
Thanks!
Hi Cindy! Maple syrup should work fine in here. Hope you enjoyed this one!

Making this recipe was my first time using sweet potato noodles and good grief were they delicious. I bought the “noodles” pre-made from the store since I don’t own a spiralizer. My family and I loved the recipe! And the ease of assembly was great for a busy weeknight.
Love it! So glad everyone enjoyed. Perfect for a weeknight dinner (and leftovers!)

my husband and i LOVED this! I use waaay less Sriracha because I’m a wimp! This dish was so flavorful, AND it had enough sauce! So often when i try a Thai or Chinese “fake out/take out” recipe, there’s not enough sauce at all, but this was RIGHT ON POINT! I’ll definitely be making this again and again
Amazing!! And totally agree on the sauce – I always make sure the sauce ratio is on point 😉 Happy you guys loved this one!
Do you what sodium is for dish? May be an issue with my making this.
I didn’t calculate sodium for this one – sorry! You could check the sodium content for each of the ingredients if you’d like.

Love it!!
This recipe looks De-lish! We don’t consume soy in any manner, any substitutes you can suggest? Thanks for all your great recipes, I’ve made quite a few of them!
You can use coconut aminos (it’s very similar to soy sauce in taste — just no soy!)

Made this tonight! AMAZING SAUCE! Added extra meat for my son that likes a lot. Will need to add more veggies for the leftovers. But he loved it so much, there might not be any!
One of my fav sauces! Glad your son enjoyed it too 🙂
This is SO delicious!!!! My new favorite recipe! Thank you for making and sharing healthy, yummy meals!
So happy to hear that Molly!!
Love this! I used coconut milk in sauce. I added sweet yellow onion and fresh ginger to the stir fry to bump flavor. Topped with cilantro, peanuts and a squeeze of lime. This was not hot enough for me so I added red chili paste to the top. Perfect!!
Delicious! I’m always a fan of extra heat 🙂
I tried this and it’s delicious! Never tried a vegetable noodle before, and sweet potatoes aren’t my favorite, and so I was surprised to find that the sweet potato noodles didn’t taste like sweet potatoes! YUM. I used a julienne peeler instead of a spiralizer, only because the peeler is all I had. I also used the powdered peanut butter (from the broccoli red pepper quinoa chicken dish a la Ambitious Kitchen) instead of peanut butter from the jar. This recipe has been added to my recipe book! Thanks for all of your delicious recipes!
Aren’t the sweet potato noodles great? So good. Glad you loved this one!
How do I get a hold of Monique regarding nutrition facts???
Wow, this is OUT-standing! I cheated and just added chopped sweet potatoes. Next time, I might add purple cabbage too! So excited for lunch this week!
Perfect! Love this one for meal prep.

Made this for dinner last night. Husband and I devoured it! Love how you can sling in any veggies that you have and husband added extra hot sauce to his afterwards. That peanut sauce is scrumptious!
So happy to hear that! And yes this one’s perfect for adding in any veggies you have.
Delicious! Love this recipe and so healthy!
So glad you love this one!
Such a hit tonight!!! Delicious!!! Loved anothing excuse to use our Inspiralizer too 👏🏻❤️💁🏻♀️

I absolutely love this recipe and make it regularly, with a couple swaps: I use powdered peanut butter and frozen butternut squash noodles, which I cook in the microwave for less time than directed and finish cooking in the sauce. My husband is not always psyched about veggie “noodles” but he loves this too!
Perfect! Glad you both love this one 🙂
Awesome awesome awesome! Very delicious. Added snow peas and mushrooms. Used carrot and zucchini spirals from TJs bc I do not have spiralizer.
Love it! Sounds delicious 🙂
Fav dinner!!
Made this last night & O M G it was phenomenal and so easy to make. Will definitely be adding it to my weekly dinners!
So happy to hear that!
As with any of your recipes, SO GOOD! I didn’t have a spiralizer, so just chopped the sweet potatoes instead and served with jasmine rice. Oh, and added fresh ginger and sesame seeds for zing! Probably better with noodles, I bet they really sop up the sauce. Either way, YUM.
Perfect! Those swaps sound delicious.
This is my absolute favorite AK recipe. I make this a few times a month and it never gets old. The sauce is amazinggg. I buy the sweet potato ribbons from TJ or Whole Foods because I’m lazy. I’ve also had this over rice and lo mein noodles and honestly you just can’t go wrong with this recipe-it will be delish no matter what.
I’m so glad! Great idea with the pre-cut sweet potato. Delicious!
So yummy! Love the creativity of the sweet potato noodles.
Aren’t they fun? Such a great dinner!
Perfect !! Super delish and everyone loved it. I wish I made more
So happy to hear that!
Delicious! I’m obsessed with the sauce. I used regular spaghetti noodles instead of sweet potato and still turned out amazing.
Love that!!
Great recipe! I made it according to your recipe and the taste is great! Everyone in the family likes it, it makes me happy. Thank you
Amazing! So happy to hear that!
Sounds great! Do you think it would be ok to sub in regular milk for the almond/coconut milk? That’s all I have on hand today!
Coconut milk would be the best option for flavorful sauce!
Delicious one. one of my favorite dish.
I’m glad you love it!
As always, AK is crushin’ it with her meals and goodies! This dish is a HUGE hit in our house – 2 kiddos – and we’ve been making it for a while now. We’ve subbed in Soba noodles when not feel in’ the sweet potato noods and it’s still perfect! The peanut sauce in any stir fry recipe makes or breaks things and this one is to die for. SO. GOOD.
Thanks so much, Ann! So glad it’s a hit with the family 🙂
Hi I was just wondering how long it can last in the fridge and if it can be frozen? I’d love to use this recipe for meal prep. Thank you.
Hi! This will last for 3-5 days in the fridge and should be fine to freeze 🙂
This is now my favorite go too dinner !!! I just so happened to have every one of these ingredients at home except for a spiralizer so instead I shaved the sweet potatoe into long wide strands which turned out great ! I can’t wait to make it again and again!! So yum !
Amazing! So happy to hear that 🙂
An amazing recipe. I use a baked sweet potato because I don’t have a spiralizer. Love this!
Perfect! Such a great dinner 🙂
Honestly, my favorite recipe ever. I have made it with regular spaghetti pasta as well, and still amazing! I make this all the time. Also, the last step of letting it thicken up for a few minutes really helps!
This recipe is so good! I usually double the sauce amount as I like mine super saucy and the sauce is so yummy!
Love that! Perfect dinner 🙂
Yum! I always feel good eating this recipe because it is packed with veggies. I add a bit extra peanut butter and have found that skim milk and 2% milk also work okay for me in this sauce. The recipe is one of my favorites to meal prep for the week!
Absolutely! Perfect dinner for meal prep 🙂
Quick, easy meal we made this past Sat night. Was looking for something different and this did not disappoint. We paired the recipe down for 2 people. Love how this has lots of colorful veggies (we added an orange bell pepper for extra veggies) and the peanut sauce is not overwhelming (side note: it thickens up if you let it sit a bit). Used frozen broccoli instead of fresh and was just as good. Leftovers the next day- win!
Perfect! So glad it was a hit 🙂
I have made this a couple times now with some modifications, like rice noodles/rice in place of sweet potato noodles and I threw in whatever veg I had on hand. So delicious!
Hi Monique. I’d like to make this in the next couple days. However, I’ve been unable to find sweet potato spirals in my grocery store. In fact, I’ve been to four stores trying to find them. And I don’t have or want to purchase a spiralizer. What do you suggest as an alternative to the sweet potato spirals?
Hi, Julie! Do they have anything similar like carrot spirals? If not, cooked rice noodles would be excellent in here 🙂
this “Spicy Thai Peanut Chicken Sweet Potato Noodle ” seems so delicious and will surely be my weekend recipe, thanks for sharing this .
