We love trying to recreate some of our favorite restaurant dishes at home, but often it becomes a lot more work than we had originally anticipated. Fortunately, that’s not the case with this easy, one-pot chicken pad thai, which is a breeze to make and is packed with flavor (with the perfect touch of spice). Not only does this dish taste great, but the fact that it’s a one-pot meal makes it the perfect option to have ready in our arsenal for when we want a quick and easy dinner…. It also means fewer dishes to clean up for whomever is stuck on kitchen duty that night! Win-win!
