Healthy Chicken Pad Thai
A viewer sent a recipe to me for "Healthy Chicken Pad Thai" that was still pretty high in points. She wanted to see if I could make it lower. I made a few changes that lowered the points and it turned out pretty good!
How to Make This:
Ingredients:
8 oz Taste of Thai Rice Noodles, Straight Cut
16 oz Cooked skinless boneless chicken breast
1 medium Uncooked bell pepper, chopped
1 1⁄2Tbsp Sesame oil, divided
1⁄3 cup Uncooked shallot, minced
10 oz Matchstick Carrots
4 tsp Minced garlic
3 large Eggs, beaten
2 cups Bean sprouts (I used canned but would recommend fresh)
1 medium bunch scallions
1⁄ 3cup Unsalted dry roasted peanuts
1⁄4 cup Cilantro
Sauce ingredients:
1⁄4 cup Low sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp Fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp Apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp Fish sauce
3 Tbsp Lakanto Brown monkfruit sweetener with erythritol
1⁄2 tsp Ground ginger
1 Tbsp Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste
2 Tbsp PBfit Pure peanut powder
1 1⁄2 Tbsp Water
Instructions:
Soak noodles according to the directions on the package.
While noodles are soaking, whisk all of the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl until completely incorporated.
When the noodles are done, strain them then toss them with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and set aside.
Heat the remaining sesame oil to a wok or deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Once it’s hot , add the red pepper and shallots and cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes then add the carrot and garlic and cook again for 1-2 minutes.
Turn the heat to medium low, add the beaten eggs and stir in until cooked.
Add the chicken, noodles and sauce and mix well to coat everything.
Add the bean sprouts, green onion, cilantro and peanuts and toss gently.
Enjoy!
