Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 lb uncooked chicken breast tenders (not breaded), cut in half crosswise
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 packages (3 oz each) chili-flavor ramen noodles
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
  • 1/2 cup chopped salted peanuts
  • 4 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps

  • 1
    In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned. Stir in eggs. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until eggs are firm.
  • 2
    Stir in water, noodles with contents of seasoning packets and lime juice. Cover; cook 5 minutes, stirring once or twice to separate noodles.
  • 3
    Stir to mix all ingredients; spoon onto serving plates. Sprinkle with onions, peanuts and cilantro.

  • If you can’t find the chili-flavor ramen noodles in your neck of the woods, try chicken-, shrimp- or vegetable-flavor. Fish sauce is often used in traditional pad thai; if you’d like to try it, replace 2 tablespoons of the water with fish sauce.
