Fast, easy and delicious is what fits the bill these days. While I truly love pouring myself into an extravagant dish, these day, ain’t nobody got time for that! That’s why I was so excited (and hesitant) about this Super Easy Pad Thai. I love some pad thai, but I only ever made it one other time and it took a bunch of crazy ingredients and way too much time and I assumed that’s what it took to get an awesome pad thai. I was wrong. This recipe is ridiculously easy and even more tasty, I threw in some chicken I had already prepped by simply poaching it, and boom, dinner. Enjoy!
