Thai Chicken

Thai Chicken is something my family has been making ever since I can remember. It's super easy and delicious! Another awesome thing is that the recipe came out of a cookbook called "Controlling Your Fat Tooth" so, it's not too bad for you I guess!

Thai Chicken
16 oz Tri-Colored Rotini noodles, Wacky Mac is good too
about 1 pound of chicken
1/2 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
6 tablespoons soy sauce
2/3 cup rice vinegar
onion flakes
chopped jalapeno
2 teaspoons minced garlic
4 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon tobasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2-3 large carrots, sliced (MY FAV PART)

1. Boil large pot of water to cook the noodles in.
2. While the water is heating up, cook your chicken. We dice it up before we cook it. Set aside. (If you're feeling lazy, just use cut up chicken fingers. Still just as good.)
3. Combine the rest of the ingredients in medium saucepan over low heat. Heat just until it's nice and hot. I like to add my carrots in the sauce LAST, cause I like them more crispy instead of like... cooked.
   (And as for the onion flakes and chopped jalapeno, I don't measure them. The onion flakes I just shake into the pot until it almost covers the top of the sauce, if that makes any sense. Just don't like COVER it or it would be too much. And the jalapeno- Put 1 or 2 teaspoons in. It depends on how spicy you'd like it.)
4. When your noodles are done cooking, drain them and put them into a large bowl. Put cooked chicken on top of noodles then pour your sauce on top of everything. Mix it all together and enjoy!

As far as leftovers go, we sometimes are just lazy and just eat it cold and it's still tasty. But of course, you can heat it up too!

This is actually the first dinner I made here in Boca!

 

 

Here's my daily random fact about me.

I love ceramics and pottery. I took the class all 4 years in highschool, and I was even my teacher's aid the last two years as well. She was my favorite teacher ever. Anyways, I wish I could find a place around here where I could do some pottery! And I don't want to just paint it. I want to sculpt it and everything. It's so relaxing to me and another reason why I love it so much is because I'm a perfectionist and I love working hard to make it look as perfect as possible. Here's a couple of things I made in high school.

This is my cupcake bowl!

This is an owl pot (to put plants in or whatever)

 Of course my favorite one is sideways.

 

Okay well, that is all! Muahhhh
