Spoken transcript

If you're looking for a healthy and nourishing dinner, look no further. You need to make my Pad Thai inspired chicken noodles. This dish comes together in literally about 25 minutes. And the one thing you don't need to worry about is that there will be no shortage of sauce. I always feel like these noodle dish recipes really skimp on the sauce, but I think that is the absolute best part. It's also filled with chicken for protein, tons of veg, and of course, the rice noodles. Coat everything well in that delicious sauce and enjoy. The recipe is in the caption below. I hope you love this and follow along for more.
