Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the spaghetti is cooking, heat oil in a large nonstick pan or wok over medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Add celery, bell peppers, onion, and carrots; cook and stir until vegetables are slightly tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, bring chicken broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, garlic powder, and sesame oil to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat and simmer until sauce reaches desired consistency, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir peanuts, garlic, and red pepper flakes into chicken-vegetable mixture; cook for 2 more minutes. Pour in sauce, then add spaghetti and toss to coat.
