Chicken Pad Thai

I love the flavors of Thai food. I also appreciate that Pad Thai is not only delicious but this version is very flexible. Use the vegetables you have in stock or that are in season.

This is an updated version of my original Paleo Pad Thai recipe. But both are satisfying so try each of them and see which you prefer.

Thai recipes often have a long list of ingredients, but trust me it is worth the few extra minutes in the kitchen. The flavor is so comforting and your body will appreciate all the amazing nutrients.
