Okay, this recipe HAS TO BE SHARED! It was crazy easy and I’m always looking for carb free dinner recipes. Because let’s be honest, I usually either eat my carb allotment well before dinner or my children have driven me insane and I desperately need to swap a carb for a glass of wine. Please tell me I’m not alone. We made this last night and couldn’t get over how easy it was and so so good. I mean, life would be so sad without pad thai, so now I have two healthy, plan approved ways to get my pad thai fix without completely blowing it. (Other recipe is in Recipes section).

Notes
As you can see, there are varying levels of laziness included in this recipe. I make a big batch of crockpot shredded chicken on Sunday during my food prep, so I always have it ready to go for recipes like this. It takes out half the work and the crockpot thing is so easy it's embarrassing. If you want to be EVEN lazier, then just buy a rotisserie chicken or some prepared grilled chicken from Whole Foods and cut it into cubes. Do what you need to do to make it work. Also, I don't have a spiralizer and never plan on spiraling my own veggies, so I always buy them ready to go.
