​​Chicken & Broccoli Pad Thai

Serves 2

Prep Time: 10 to 15 minutes 
Cooking time:  10 minutes

This quick dish is the Clean version of a traditional Pad Thai.  Have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you begin cooking, as this doesn't take long to cook.


​For the Marinade
 
2 Tablespoons fish sauce
1 Tablespoon coconut sugar
1 red chili pepper or chili paste, to taste
1 Tablespoon rice wine vinegar


For the Pad Thai

4 chicken thighs or 1 breast, cut into strips
2 Tablespoons coconut or avocado oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 head (about 2 cups) broccoli, cut into small florets
1/2 cup ground nut butter; if too thick, thin with coconut or avocado oil

​1 package of rice noodles, medium thickness
(The original Clean recipe uses a whisked egg instead of the ground nut butter)


For the Garnish

2 scallions/green onions, chopped
2 Tablespoons roasted cashews, roughly chopped
cilantro leaves
1 lime, cut into wedges

 
Set the chicken strips into a bowl or small baking dish.  Whisk together all the marinade ingredients in another bowl and pour the mixture over the chicken.  Cover the dish and allow it to sit for 15 to 20 minutes so the flavours can mingle.  If made ahead, cover and place in refrigerator until 1/2 hour before cooking.

Prepare the rice noodles according to directions on the package.  Once the noodles are cooked, drain and rinse under cold water.  Drizzle and toss the noodles with a touch of avocado or olive oil and set aside.

In a wok or large skillet heat the coconut oil.  When the oil is hot, sauté the garlic until it is fragrant.  Toss in the broccoli florets.  Sauté for 3-5 minutes before adding the chicken along with the marinade into the wok/skillet.  Stir fry the mixture rapidly and continue until the chicken is completely cooked.  Pour in the ground nut butter and use a wooden spoon to coat the chicken and broccoli.  Toss in the cooked rice noodles.  Mix thoroughly.  Add more nut butter if needed.  When this is done, remove the pan from the heat.

On two serving plates, arrange the chicken, broccoli and rice noodles.  Garnish with scallions/green onions, roasted cashews, cilantro and a lime wedge or two.  Enjoy!
