Introduction
A great lo carb option for Thai style food. It is packed full of healthy vegetables. I omitted any kind of noodles or rice and used mung bean sprouts instead. It was delish! This recipe is very versatile. You can swap out any kind of veggies you would prefer instead of the ones I used. My whole family enjoyed this meal and even my 11 year old said it is a definite "do again". You could also make it vegetarian by substituting tofu for the chicken.
