I’m still in Asian food mode..
The good folks over at
We tried the
I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
I normally marinate my chicken in a big, gallon sized ziploc bag but I wanted to show you the marinade in all it’s glory.
You only need to marinate the chicken for an hour if you’re strapped for time but longer is better and will give you more flavor. I actually marinated my chicken thighs overnight. You can also baste with the marinade as you grill or bake. This marinade also works in slow cookers, stir-frys or skillets.
Here’s my glorious, juicy chicken.
This marinade was delicious! You can obviously eat this with just about anything or even make a chicken sandwich but I chose to slice up my chicken and serve it on top of my soba noodles. Mixed with the zucchini, carrots and edamame, soy sauce and sesame oil. . it was amazing! And just on it’s own, just popping this chicken into my mouth was delicious! You’ve got to try this marinade.
I hope you enjoy!
Soba Noodles with Marinated Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 - 1 1/2 lbs. chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- 1 bottle Stubb's Chicken Marinade
- 4 ounces soba noodles Japanese buckwheat noodles
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil + more if needed
- 2-3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce to taste
- 1½ tablespoons brown rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 large carrot julienned and cut into inch long matchsticks
- 1 zucchini julienned and cut into inch long matchsticks
- shelled edamame
- dried seaweed nori, cut into strips (optional)

- For a spicy alternative mix in: 1½ tablespoons sweet chili sauce or sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Marinate your chicken in the Stubb's Chicken Marinade for at least 1-2 hours or overnight. Grill until the chicken is thoroughly cooked through, slice and set aside.
- Cook the soba noodles according to package directions (usually only 4-5 minutes), rinse, drain well and set aside.
- Combine the sesame oil, soy sauce, brown rice vinegar and brown sugar in a medium bowl and whisk together.
- Pour the soy sauce mixture over the soba noodles and mix to combine and coat the noodles. I prefer using disposable plastic gloves so I can mix with my hands. To serve: portion out the soba noodles into serving bowls, place the julienned carrots and zucchini and shelled edamame around the noodles and top with slices of the cooked chicken. Lightly drizzle more sesame oil and soy sauce over the top if desired. Top with dried seaweed and sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy immediately.
