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 postcontains affiliatelinks to products I’m obsessed with.

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.

Prep Time 15 minutes mins

Cook Time 20 minutes mins

Total Time 35 minutes mins

Ingredients

▢ 3/4 lb chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
▢ 4 teaspoons coconut oil divided (use 2 tsp for WW)
▢ 2 eggs beaten
▢ 3 stalks green onion cut into 2" lengths
▢ 1 clove garlic minced
▢ 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
▢ 1/2 cup matchstick carrots
▢ 2 large zucchini cut into noodle spirals
▢ Himalayan salt
▢ Dash crushed red pepper
▢ 1 lime
▢ 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
▢ 4 tablespoons coconut aminos or more to taste
▢ 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
▢ Cilantro

Instructions

Make a quick Pad Thai sauce by mixing 1 Tbsp lime juice, honey, coconut aminos and crushed red pepper. Set aside.
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.
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.
Using the remaining 2 teaspoons of coconut oil, cook the green onion, garlic and ginger for a minute until fragrant.
Add carrots to the pan and stir fry for another few minutes before adding chicken and egg back to the pan.
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.
Divide into two plates and top with freshly squeezed lime juice, chopped peanuts and cilantro. Serve with additional lime wedges.

Notes

21 Day Fix: 1 RED, 1 1/4 GREEN, 1/2 BLUE*, 2 tsp (per serving)

WW: 8 points (per serving); 5 points without peanuts (per serving) [Calculated using maple syrup]

*Updated container counts- peanuts used to be ORANGE, but now are on the BLUE list. Either count as orange or 1/2 BLUE, or omit the peanuts entirely!

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!

Do you think this could be used for meal prep? Like double or triple it for the week? What would you do or change if any if this could work.

  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!

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?

Made this for supper tonight, did not use cilantro, pepper flakes or ginger as my mother-in-law does not care for ginger and it was delicious. Will make this again. Thank you

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?
