Spicy Thai Noodles with Chicken – a super quick and easy dinner that is on the table in minutes. Full of great Thai flavor with easy to find ingredients!
Asian style recipes are some of our favorite to make at home. It doesn’t take a lot of ingredients or time to get big flavors and something the whole family will like. And these Thai Noodles are no exception, just a few minutes and you have something extra delicious.
And if you want something without meat in a more traditional peanut sauce don’t miss these Thai Peanut Noodles.
One of the things that I love about Asian recipes is how quickly they come together. It may look like a long list of ingredients, but it really comes together in just minutes. The key is to having everything prepped, measured and ready when you start.
You can mix together the sauce and have it ready, chop the vegetables, slice the meat etc. You can do this all at one time or even in the pockets of time during your day. So the actual cooking part is really quick and easy!

You will notice that I used Gourmet Garden seasonings to make this super easy, but you can definitely make the recipe without them. I included what to to use instead of it in the recipe card. So don’t worry if you don’t have them or can’t find them
How To Make Spicy Thai Noodles
Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full recipe and instructions.
- Make the marinade for the chicken by combining the Thai seasoning, garlic and chili pepper seasoning with the sliced chicken. Place it in the fridge for about 2 hours to let the flavors all come together.
- When you are ready to start cooking, bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the pad thai noodles according to the package instructions.
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat olive oil swirling to coat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned.
- Add in the bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Mix together all of the ingredients for the sauce and pour over the chicken. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
- Add the cooked pasta and stir in the shredded carrots to combine everything.
- Top with cilantro and chopped peanuts to serve.
If you can’t find pad thai noodles, you really can use anything. Linguine or Spaghetti work really well. I like to use a long noodles, but really anything works.
Absolutely. This recipe calls for just bell peppers, but you can add zucchini, broccoli, snap peas or whatever your favorite veggies are.
If you have leftovers, store them in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. They are great warmed in the microwave, or if you want cold noodles straight from the container, I will not judge!
