Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
For the chicken: In a big bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, fish sauce, red curry paste, brown sugar, turmeric, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken strips and coat them well with the marinade. Spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (use a meat thermometer to check).
Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Before draining, save about a cup of pasta water. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
For the peanut sauce: In a large pan, combine coconut milk, chicken broth, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, garlic, and ginger. Heat over medium-high heat, whisking often, until it starts to boil. Then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens a little (but not too much).
Once the chicken is done, add it to the sauce and stir. Then add the cooked noodles and toss everything together. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit of the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your preferred thickness.
Serve with optional toppings like cilantro, peanuts, sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lime.
