Delight in this Easy Chicken Pad Thai, a vibrant dish featuring tender chicken, chewy rice noodles, and colorful veggies tossed in a tangy sauce for a satisfying meal.
Prepare your ingredients by chopping the chicken and vegetables. Soak rice noodles in warm water according to package instructions until softened but firm.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté chicken pieces for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Add minced garlic, bell peppers, and carrots to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender yet crunchy.
In a small bowl, whisk together tamarind paste, soy sauce, sugar, and lime juice until combined.
Toss the cooked noodles and sauce into the skillet with chicken and veggies. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes to blend flavors.
Serve hot garnished with crushed peanuts and lime wedges.
