Thai chicken "pasta"

12/27/2017

 
This dish is so versatile that you can mix and match it any way you like.  In the recipe, I used Chicken, but it tastes equally good with Shrimp or Tofu.  The sauce is what makes the whole dish happen and resembles the Thai Chicken Pasta on the menu at The Cheesecake Factory, minus the million calories.  

Time: Under 45 minutes

Level: Medium
​Servings: Four​
