Chicken Pad Thai Recipe

Craving authentic Pad Thai flavors? This recipe recreates the delicious Chicken Pad Thai from Phoenix's Pei Wei, but with a fun twist! We're using Trader Joe's whole wheat fettuccine for a heartier, more textured noodle. This fabulous recipe boasts incredible flavor, and it's easily customizable. Add a kick with optional curry powder, and enjoy a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your home! We've tweaked the original to perfectly match Pei Wei's secret ingredient (vinegar!), reduced the oil and chicken for a lighter dish. Get ready for a flavor explosion!
