- 1 c. Thai peanut sauce
- 3/4 c. chicken broth
- 5 oz. stir-fry rice noodles
- 1 c. sugar snap or snow peas
- optional garnishes - chopped peanuts red pepper flakes, green onions & cilantro
Instructions

Top with the peas and replace the cover as quickly as possible. Change the settings to slow cooker (normal), and cook for 10 minutes or until the noodles are soft but firm.
- Meanwhile, shred the chicken breasts and set aside.
- Remove the lid of the pressure cooker and give the noodles a good stir. Add the chicken back to the pot with the noodles. Cook on slow cooker mode for an additional 10 minutes. Serve warm.
