Easy Chicken Pad Thai
This Chicken Pad Thai is so easy to make and full of a variety of flavors. Your family will think you ordered takeout! It is dressed in a homemade peanut sauce that is not only easy to make but delicious. Enjoy!
Pad thai is one of my favorite dinners to order in. There is nothing better than a big hot plate of rice noodles, chicken, and veggies. Though I always assumed I could never make it taste the same as great carryout restaurants do…. I was wrong! Making it was so much easier than I thought and you can modify it to your taste. My recipe probably has more veggies than your local Thai restaurant but your version doesn’t have to!

How do I make this pad thai?

Next, dice the chicken. Heat a large skillet or pot over medium heat with two tablespoons of avocado oil. Once hot, add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes or until cooked. Remove the chicken.

Make sure the veggies do not get too mushy!
