Chicken Pad Thai Recipe
Chicken Pad Thai is a restaurant meal favorite for us, it is is one of the meals that our family actually orders every time we go to our favorite Thai restaurant, and when we don’t eat-in, we order Chicken Pad Thai takeout. It’s a bit spicy, the chicken is always nice and tender and pad thai noodles are just delicious! It took years of ordering this dish before deciding that we should try to make it at home. And guess what?! It wasn’t nearly as hard as I expected. Cheaper too 😉 In fact, you may have many of the ingredients at home right now…I know I do! Well, besides the pad thai noodles, but you can get those at just about any grocery store or online.
You will make the sauce, then brown the chicken, then the noodles. So, there are a few extra steps, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll see that it’s worth it! Then if your favorite take-out restaurant is closed one afternoon and you really want chicken pad thai, you can just make it!
This is definitely one of those recipes that the more you make it, the more comfortable you will get with the steps and the easier it will become.
As you can see, it is filled with all sorts of deliciousness! The sauce is amazing, the noodles are easy to make, and the chicken cooked up beautifully. I added sweet mini peppers to our chicken pad thai, but feel free to add whatever vegetables you would like. Think mushrooms, onions, butternut squash…you name it.
Once the chicken and noodles are cooked, you top with quick scrambled eggs, your cooked veggies, and the sauce and VOILA! You have successfully made Chicken Pad Thai! No uber eats, grub hub, door dash required 😉 Plus, you can probably make this dish faster than you could get it delivered! This easy chicken pad thai recipe is ready from start to finish in less than 45 minutes.

Notes
Nutrition
If you don’t have a wok at home, you can use a skillet, just make sure it’s large enough to fit everything in it. You will want all the ingredients in one pan at the end so that all the flavors mix together.
I hope you enjoy this Chicken Pad Thai Recipe as much as we do!
If you are planning on having a glass of wine with your homemade Chicken Pad Thai, I recommend a white wine, and since this is a little spicy, I would recommend pairing with a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
