Step 1
Cook the 8 oz rice noodles in boiling water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Step 2
Season the 1 lb chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Let rest, then slice.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk the juice of 2 limes with the 2 tbsp fish sauce and 1 tsp sugar (if you have it). Add the noodles, sliced chicken, and 1 cup pineapple chunks; toss well.
Step 4
Top with the 0.5 cup crushed peanuts and serve with extra lime wedges.
Step 5
For extra heat, add sliced chili or sriracha to the dressing.
