Peanut Noodles with Shredded Chicken and Vegetables

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 c. smooth natural peanut butter
2 T. reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 t. minced garlic
1 1/2 t. chile-garlic sauce
1 t. minced fresh ginger
8 oz. whole-wheat spaghetti
1 bag fresh vegetable medley

Put a large pot of water on to boil for cooking pasta.

Meanwhile, place chicken in a skillet or saucepan and add enough water to cover; bring to a boil.  Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes.  Transfer the chicken to a cutting board.  When cool enough to handle, shred into bite-size strips. 

Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, garlic, Chile-garlic sauce and ginger in a large bowl.

Cook pasta in the boiling water until not quite tender, about 1 minute less than specified in the package directions.  Add vegetables and cook until the pasta and vegetables are just tender, 1 minute more.  Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.  Rinse the pasta and vegetables with cool water to refresh.  Stir the reserve cooking liquid into the peanut sauce, add the pasta, vegetables and chicken; toss well to coat.  Serve warm or chilled.
