Chicken and Zucchini Pad Thai

I've tried to make Pad Thai from scratch and it never turns out like the way you think Pad Thai should taste. However, there are some really good sauces that allow you to make a perfect Pad Thai dinner. The key to getting Pad Thai right is to use the proper noodle so it doesn't taste like Pad Thai spaghetti. I use Well-Pac Japanese Udon Noodles and they're perfect.

 

Ingredients:

Japanese udon noodles

1 small diced chicken breast
1 small dice zucchini
1/2 diced yellow onion
4 - 5 diced green onions
4 crushed garlic cloves
Pinch red pepper flakes
1 bunch chopped cilantro
chopped nuts
1 tablespoon olive oil

Preparation:
Cook the udon noodles according to the package which is in boiling water for 5 minutes. When cooked, rinse in cold water and set a side.

Take a 12" sauté pan and heat to medium. Add the olive oil, onion, garlic, green onions and cook for a couple of minutes just until the onion starts to turn translucent.

Add the diced chicken, zucchini and cilantro and red pepper. Turn up the heat to hi and cook until the chicken is cooked through. Add the Pad Thai sauce and udon noodles and heat and toss until everything is well incorporated.

To serve, place a portion of Pad Thai on a plate and garnish with chopped nuts, chopped cilantro and diced green onions.
