Ingredients

6-8 servings

  • 8 thinly sliced chicken breasts
  • 2 ½ cups Thai peanut sauce ( ½ cup for garnish)
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cups matchstick carrots
  • 2 cups raw broccoli florets
  • 2 cups yellow zucchini, sliced
  • ½ cup chives, chopped
  • garlic powder, to taste
  • onion powder, to taste
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
  • 1 box brown rice Pad Thai noodles
  • olive oil for sautéing

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine 1 cup Thai peanut sauce and soy sauce. Add sliced chicken breasts, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best flavor).
  2. In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add matchstick carrots, broccoli florets, and yellow zucchini, along with ½ cup Thai peanut sauce.
  4. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  5. Cook the brown rice Pad Thai noodles according to package directions. Once cooked, transfer them to a bowl of cold water to prevent sticking.
  6. Preheat the grill to 400°F. Grill the chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Drain the noodles and place them back in the pot. Add ½ cup Thai peanut sauce and toss to combine. Warm on low heat.
  8. In serving bowls, layer the noodles, sautéed vegetables, and sliced chicken. Drizzle with remaining ½ cup Thai peanut sauce. Enjoy!
  9. Options: try other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas, for some heat, incorporate crushed red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha, or top with crushed peanuts for added crunch.
