Spicy Soba Noodles with Chicken in Peanut Sauce

1 carrot, peeled
2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth, divided
1/3 cup reduced-fat peanut butter
1 tablespoon chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 to 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
5 cups cooked soba (about 10 ounces uncooked buckwheat noodles)
6 tablespoons sliced green onions
6 tablespoons chopped unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts

Shave carrot lengthwise into thin strips using a vegetable peeler.
Combine 1/3 cup broth, peanut butter, ginger, soy sauce, honey, pepper, and garlic; stir with a whisk until smooth.

Place chicken in a large saucepan; add 1 2/3 cups broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 4 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove from heat; let stand 20 minutes. Drain; cut chicken into 2-inch pieces. Combine carrot, peanut sauce, chicken, and noodles in a large bowl; toss to coat. Sprinkle with onions and peanuts.

I never use soba noodles. Are they wheaty/insoluble? I would use linguini or some thick asian noodle. I also think this is a recipe that you could chop the chicken first to make it easier to poach. Sometimes cutting before cooking makes it drier but I think it would be fine here.

Oh and peanut butter doesn't agree with everyone.
