Eating Paleo? You can still enjoy Chicken Pad Thai! This recipe uses broccoli slaw instead of noodles, and is full of other healthy ingredients!

Ingredients

• 4 to 5 tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil (more if you use breast meat, less if you use thigh meat)
• 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 pound chicken meat, cut into small 1” chunks
• 3 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos, or use 1 more tablespoon fish sauce
• 4 tablespoon fresh or good quality bottled lime juice
• 1/2 tablespoon coconut vinegar or apple cider vinegar
• 1 (12 ounce) package broccoli slaw
• 2 medium carrots, cut into thin julienne strips
• 4 to 5 green onions, finely chopped
• 5 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add oil and garlic, cook about 1 minute.

Add chicken and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned.

Add fish sauce, coconut aminos, lime juice and vinegar. Cook at a rapid simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes.

Add broccoli slaw and julienned carrots. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft but still firm, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Toss or garnish with green onion and cilantro. Enjoy!
