Curried Chicken and Veggie Pad Thai. A Gluten Free Pad Thai dish paired with curried chicken and veggies. You can’t go wrong with this pair! Delish!
One of my husband’s favorite dishes I’ve made (ever) is a gluten free and vegan mac and cheese with curried chickpeas. I am still shocked to this day that he requests that recipe, only because he’s a man, and he craves meat daily. Haha. But I don’t complain, it’s a great meal and I try to recreate it when I can.
Well, the past few weeks of traveling and racing for the Kiwi (my husband) have been a wee bit stressful and tiring. That being said, it was time for his favorite meal to cure things. Makes sense, right?
But this time around, I added in extra protein (chicken), veggies, and switched to a new pad Thai pasta to make it lower carb. Guess how it turned out?
Absolutely DELISH!

It actually paired quite nicely with my favorite bread to eat –> grain free garlic protein bread!
Happy Belly, Happy Husband, right? Or is it Happy Life, Happy Wife? Maybe both. Anyway, this recipe is definitely a keeper for years to come. So glad it’s simple to make too! Let me know if you give it a whirl!
What’s your favorite meal someone else makes for you?
Cheers,

this looks so good! I def need to make it!

Thanks so much Lindsey! Glad you and your husband enjoyed our pad thai noodles, everything looked delicious 🙂 all the best!
we will be eating this again for sure! i’ll have to try more of your noodles. CHeers!
So delicious.
I have a friend who makes vegan pancakes every time I come over. I love cake-y breakfast dishes, and the pancakes are so thick and moist, I can never resist. Amaaazing.
That sounds like when I had Miguel try tofu for the first time when I pressed and marinated it and I was shocked he liked it and actually requested it again! Because he too loves his meat and potatoes 😉 This looks soooooo good!!! I must make! And let’s see, I love when Miguel makes me his homemade soups from scratch that his mom showed him how to make 🙂 SO GOOD! (kale soup, tomato, carrot etc!)
This looks amazing and thai food is pretty much my favorite! Can’t wait to try and make this, maybe Sunday night I’ll make some! 🙂
I love when my mom makes me home made soups. She is awesome at it and will make a bunch and freeze it and give it to me when she sees me next.
let me know how it turns out Laura!
I’m hungry!!! 🙂 Looks amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG I am making this- I love pad Thai but always buy it take out style- the fact that it’s curried chicken style (here it’s more Soy sauce based)- genius.
I LOVE pad thai 🙂
I hope the weeks get less stressful soon lady 🙂 xx
thank you friend. needed! <3 hope your new job and life is going well
Looks tasty sista! I love Thai!!!!
me too! it’s the best! THAI love!
Yum! I’m trying to get my hubby to try more curry foods. I don’t love them myself but there are quite a few I do like and this sounds like one I would for sure!
the curry is not too strong. Especially with the cheese and you can garlic. Let me know if you try this friend!
I LOVE curry and pad Thai. This is win win.
i knew you’d appreciate this. 😉
mmmm, I’d eat that!
Favorite dish someone else makes for me — anything! One particular that comes to mind is a shrimp and grits recipe my dad makes!
well let me know when you dad comes in town! haha
This looks so yummy! I think Brian and I would love it too!
Mmmmmmmmm! Looks and sounds so good!
This sounds delicious!!
i knew you’d love! spicy!
Oh I love PadThai!! And this looks sooo good.
My Mom makes the best saffron ristotto. And on the weekends she bakes that braided butterbread – the BEST!!
can i come this weekend? 😉
I was drooling over your instagram picture this morning! I love when my husband grills chicken and veggies with homemade guacamole… his always tastes better than mine!
Since I do not eat meat, I am thinking this would be amazing with curried chickpeas!! Totally heading over to check out that mac and cheese recipe now too 😉
oh my gosh yes! i also made it with tempeh and sprouted tofu before
Yum – this looks good!! Hope it helps nourish both of y’all!
I like pretty much any dish that someone else makes for me.
ahh love that you are easy to please!
Omg this sounds fabulous! I want to eat it right through the computer screen!
maybe it will work if you think real hard. haha
This looks too good to be true! I <3 thai, and can't wait to eat this!!!
let me know if you try it!
Question for you….did you do whole 30 when you went through your gut healing? I’ve cut out all grains, pasta, dairy, sugar, etc. that combined with ACV and a digestive enzyme has helped tremendously. I’m wondering how and at what point to start introducing things back. It’s been two weeks for me so far.
Let’s email. I never did whole 30 for certain reasons. Too much restriction at once. I focused on low fodmap and more micronutrient dense foods for 90 days
Oh boy, now you’ve got me wanting some pad thai… like now. 🙂
I LOVE LOVE LOVE cashew cheese! That stuff with curry/cumin is pure gold! I have been using it with veggies/pasta – but haven’t tried it with chicken! Loving the sound of this recipe lady!
oh we would get along well in the kitchen! hehe
Mom’s homemade meatballs and spaghetti with crispy Italian Bread on a cold winter night! It is the best and can never get enough of it! 🙂
I LOVE PAD THAI. (Caps necessary.)
the spicier the better, right?
Yum! I may just make this tonight. I think I’ve got everything. I’ve got a meat a holic here too. ; )
Make something FOR me? You’re kidding, right?
haha i’ll come make it for you! <3
Oooh…this sounds fantastic! Pad Thai just so happens to be one of my favorite dishes! I’ve never made it myself before, but I look forward to giving it a try.
babies would like if you did. hehe
I think Jason would live on mac n’ cheese if I let him. Is it a guy thing? Since Jason used to work in a French restaurant, when he decides to get creative in the kitchen, I let him have at it. He’s really a great cook when he decides to cook 😉
and he’s a pro at the grill. Has he grilled mac and cheese? LOL!
I LOVE Thai food, although I can be quite picky about it.
Anything my mom cooks for me makes me happy 🙂 It’s always nice when the parents cook!

oh that is nice! mama’s know best
Yummmmm! This totally looks like a simple go-to meal. Isn’t it funny when men crave something other than meat, though? I’m like… wait really??! Ok!
i know, i’m totally perplexed when that happens. LOL!
Wait? Other people can cook for me?! ; ) In our house, it’s always me, simply b/c I work from home so it makes it logical. But let me say that pad thai is my husband’s favorite so now I can make it for him!
not even mother’s day? shame shame haha
OH, how I miss mac and cheese. This looks like another must try recipe, for sure! When I ate gluten and dairy, my two favorites were my dad’s homemade pizza and biscuits and gravy. Now, my favorite might be his pea soup w/bacon – which happens to be gf + df 🙂
oh i need that recipe jen!
someone else makes something for me?!:-)

i’ll make when you move back to texas. 😉
I’m a crazy person for mac and cheese. There was a point in my late teenage years where I was going through a [blue] box a day. It’s probably a good thing that I learned you can make your own healthier version 😆
i still buy annie’s GF mac and cheese –> the blue box gets me every time. cheese powder and all. haha
Love curry! I’d love if you made this for me hehe 😛
me too! xxoo
This sounds amazing, exactly what I am craving right now….yes, even at 6:50am…….well, if I can’t have chocolate for breakfast that is? 😉 Love the combination here, and I am pinning this for later!
you can totally have this for breakfast! I would!
I have to say I missed Thai food a little! This looks so yummy 🙂
you should try this with the shiratake noodles or kelp noodles!! for sure. Ive done it before that way too.
Oh MAN!! This looks awesome! John just drooled too. Going to have to put this on the meal plan for next week.
let me know if you do! seriously!
I adore pad thai, but can’t usually have the restaurant versions because all of the added ish in there, so I had to come up with my own. Hadn’t taken the curry approach yet, but will definitely try it!
totally! and it’s hit or miss with those dishes when eatin out.
Ooh this one looks like a keeper! Gotta love a curry in a hurry. 😉
You sold me at the whole meat loving hubby being a fan of this dish!
you know it! haha
