Chicken Pad Thai Zoodles

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This 21 Day Fix Chicken Pad Thai Zoodles dinner is a light and delicious take on Chicken Pad Thai. It’s packed with flavor, but gluten free, soy free, and 21 Day Fix-approved! This post contains affiliate links to products I’m obsessed with. 

Plate of Zucchini Noodles with chicken, peanuts, carrots and pad Thai sauce

Confession #64 – My goal this week has been to shower more often.

I’m serious.

Now that I am on leave and spend my days at home with my children, I have no idea where the time goes.  And how I once managed to workout, shower, and commute nearly an hour each morning.  All before 7:3oam.

I need to get on a schedule.  It would help if my sweet son would sleep through the night for me.  Perhaps then I wouldn’t press snooze a million times, ensuring another day of ponytails and sweat pants.

Anyway, day three has gone pretty well.  I even managed a bit of lip gloss.

My other goal was to make a fix inspired, soy free, and gluten free version of my favorite take out dish – Pad Thai.  I miss our little neighborhood Thai restaurant from our days living in Philly.  I haven’t found one in the burbs that compares.

In total honesty, this may not be perfect from a Pad Thai purist standpoint, but it was still SO yummy.  I left out a few key ingredients – namely fish sauce, sugar, and soy sauce, and replaced them with coconut aminos, honey, and fresh lime juice.  The result – a deliciously bright and fresh tasting dinner- way better than a lot of take out I’ve had.

Look at me…crushing goals and it’s only Wednesday Thursday.

I hope you enjoy the chicken Pad Thai zoodles recipe!

Description

Chicken Pad Thai Zoodles is a light and delicious take on Chicken Pad Thai. It’s packed with flavor, but gluten free, soy free, and 21 Day Fix-approved!


Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
  • 4 teaspoons coconut oil, divided
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3 stalks green onion, cut into 2” lengths
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger

  • Himalayan salt
  • dash of crushed red pepper
  • 1 lime
  • 1 T honey
  • 4 T coconut aminos (or more to taste)

Instructions

  1. Make a quick Pad Thai sauce by mixing 1 T lime juice, honey, coconut aminos and crushed red pepper. Set aside.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with Himalayan salt, and cook in 1 teaspoon of the coconut oil over medium heat. When finished, remove from pan and wipe pan clean with a paper towel.
  3. Using another teaspoon of coconut oil, cook scrambled eggs in pan. Remove when finished and set aside with the chicken. Again – wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.
  4. Using the remaining 2 teaspoons of coconut oil, cook the green onion, garlic and ginger for a minute until fragrant.
  5. Add carrots to the pan and stir fry for another few minutes before adding chicken and egg back to the pan.
  6. Add zoodles and cook for a minute or until they begin to soften. Add Pad Thai Sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
  7. Divide into two plates and top with freshly squeezed lime juice, chopped peanuts and cilantro. Serve with additional lime wedges.

    This was delicious! I had to make a couple adjustments as I was missing a couple things. I substituted 1 tsp natural peanut butter in the sauce instead of the peanuts and I used soy sauce instead of the aminos. My 17 yr old daughter and I really enjoyed it. My husband and younger kids wouldnt touch it, they had something else. But i was fine with that because that means theres extra for lunch tomorrow! Thank you?

    This looks amazing! I was wondering if I was to make it 80 DO approved, would I use less coconut oil to get rid of 1 tsp, and slightly less veggies?

      I’m sorry I missed this, but yes! I would just prep the zoodles separate and only add them on the night you are going to eat!

    Hi! So excited to try this, sounds delicious. Just curious how you’re counting the peanuts? Normally I would count them as blue, but don’t see it here. Are you counting them as an orange, or was the orange for the sauce? Thanks!
