Chicken Pad Thai image

This is another 'whip up at the last minute' ideas... I made it with all organic ingredients and sauces (other than the Sriracha- a spicy 'Asian Ketchup' which, if you don't have- you MUST get- and the jiff, which you will NEVER get me off of- I will never do organic peanut butter- that is the one thing I REFUSE to give up- haha). It's a pretty easy rendition, but it went over really well at a last minute dinner party!

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces Thai rice noodles (Thai Kitchen Brand- 1/2 box)
2 eggs
3 (6 -7 ounce) boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup paad Thai sauce ("Thai Kitchen" Brand)
1/2 cup organic peanut sauce
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (Jiff)
6 scallions, diced
1/4 teaspoon garlic
1 lime (quartered)
1 cup bean sprouts
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 -3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
1/2 cup chopped dry roasted peanuts
6 tablespoons diced scallions (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Either grill chicken on your Foreman grill and transfer it to a large sauté pan, or sauté the chicken, cut it into cubes and replace into pan --.
  • in a separate pan, scramble two eggs and set aside.
  • Add COOKED chicken, garlic, scallions, red pepper flakes, peanut butter, and both sauces, siriracha, and squeeze 1/2 of lime into sauté pan. Simmer 5-10 minutes.
  • boil a large pot of water and when rapidly boiling, drop in 1/2 package of rice noodles. Remove from heat and stir occasionally- letting sit 10 minutes. When finished, drain and rinse noodles with cold water.
  • Add noodles to sauce and chicken mixture. toss and cook noodles and sauce 3 minute.
  • Add bean sprouts and egg and cook another 2 or 3 minutes. (IF NECESSARY, ADD EXTRA PAD THAI SAUCE OR PEANUT SAUCE TO GET IT TO THE SAUCE CONSISTENCY THAT YOU NEED, I AM GUESSING ON THE MEASUREMENTS- I PRETTY MUCH EYEBALL EVERYTHING).
  • Serve garnished with lime wedge and sprinkle with extra scallions and crushed peanuts.

I didn't have Pad Thai rice on hand, but the regular jasmine rice worked fine in this recipe.

I've never had Pad Thai before, but this recipe looked so easy, so I gave it a try. It was phenomenal! I can't believe I've been missing out on this.

This was a great weeknight dinner, but I did end up needing to add a little more fish sauce to give it some extra pop of flavor.

I wasn't too keen on the flavor of this dish. It needed a little something extra, but I'm not sure what.

I'd recommend using a wok to get the authentic Pad Thai experience.

I think this recipe would be better with a little added spice. I'll try adding in some crushed red pepper next time.

I subbed chicken out for tofu and it was fabulous.

I meal prep this Pad Thai all the time. Reheats great.

I've never made Pad Thai before, so I gave this recipe a go. It was such a hit with my family. Thumbs up all around.

The sauce for this Pad Thai was just the right balance of sweet, sour, and salty.

The chicken in this recipe was a *little* dry. I'm thinking next time I'll try only cooking it for 1 minute instead of 2.

This is so easy to make, yet so satisfying. Quite a crowd-pleaser for sure.
