Soy Glazed Chicken with Peanut Noodles

The other day I found this recipe in one of my magazines that I accidentally bought.  It was piggy backed on a magazine I was buying for my mom for mother's day, and I guess, if nothing else, one good thing came out of that accidental purchase: this recipe!

Soy Glazed Chicken with Peanut Noodles
slightly adapted from: Family Circle Magazine

2-3 chicken breasts
salt and pepper
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. honey
12 oz. spaghetti 
1/4 c. rice vinegar
3 Tbsp. soy sauce
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
3 Tbsp. peanut butter (I used creamy, but next time I will definitely use crunchy for the added texture)
2 tsp. sesame oil
1-2 dashes onion powder

Season your chicken with salt and pepper.  In your instant pot, add 1 c. of water and cook the chicken on high for 8-10 minutes.  Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the 1 Tbsp. of soy sauce and the honey.  When the chicken is cooked, baste the honey soy mixture on the chicken.  While the chicken is cooking, cook the spaghetti noodles according to the package directions.  Drain and rinse them in cold water.  Stir together the rice vinegar, 3 Tbsp. soy sauce, vegetable oil, peanut butter, sesame oil and onion powder, until smooth.  Toss the sauce mixture with the noodles and serve it with the chicken.
