Easy Chicken Pad Thai

I'm new to the Chicken Pad Thai seen, but the first time I had it in a restaurant, I knew I was hooked. There is something so delicious about all of the pad Thai flavors combined and this recipe really does the trick.

If you need an easy weeknight meal that will satisfy the whole family, this is a great one to make! I'm sure it'll be a new favorite in your house like it is in mine.
