This Thai Chicken Noodle Bowl is the easy dinner that you'll put into regular rotation! With shredded cooked chicken, red onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and noodles in a tangy Thai inspired sauce!
I love having easy recipes to get dinner on the table quickly. Especially when they are Thai-inspired, a favorite around here!
Using a rotisserie chicken, or some simple Poached Chicken, makes this even easier! I used some chicken that I had canned, so mine came out very shredded!
The bright fresh flavors of this noodle bowl will have you coming back for more!
Instructions.
Cook your noodles of choice according to package directions. Drain and rinse.
Prepare the dressing in a large bowl by combining lime juice, fish sauce, oil, and sugar. I also like to add the chopped pepper at this point to allow it to evenly infuse it's heat through the dressing.
Prep the vegetables, by thinly slicing the cucumbers, dicing the tomatoes, chopping the tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onions. I like to use my Quick Pickled Red Onions. If you don't have already pickled onions, you can add the thinly sliced onions to the dressing first and let them soak in it while you prep the rest of the vegetables.
Add all the vegetables and the chicken to the bowl and toss to combine. Then add the noodles and toss again.
Sprinkle with toasted peanuts for serving.

Chef Fresco says
I love those bowls!! The dish looks so fresh & delicious. P.S. I hate lima and liver too.

Looks so good!

This looks and sounds fabulous! I have been planning to trial out some Chinese Chicken Salads, but didn't think of Thai. Bookmarking it now!
Chris says
I was going to say I've never heard of a Homegoods store, but turns out we have one just 3 miles from us and my wife informs me that I went in it with her. I have a horrible memory.
The thai salad sounds awesome and looks great (so do the bowls, of course!).

Made this for dinner tonight and it was great! I didn't have the same herbs you do and had to swap lemon juice for lime - but it we essentially very similar.
Sweet and Savory says
This looks like a recipe, certainly, worth cooking. I am going to print it up now so I won't forget to make it.
Debinhawaii says
Gorgeous--love any Thai noodle dish. I am jealous about the great bowls and Homegoods--we don't have them here. 😉
Nancy says
I am making this sometime in the next week! And those bowls are perfect. Ah, if I only had the room. But I still have dishware in storage in Minneapolis. So, no addicting bowl shopping for me. My soup bowls will work, just not as nicely as yours!
claire says
Ohh your blog is wonderful! Everything looks delicious. I'm trying this one out one day soon. 🙂
a good yarn says
You're right - those bowls are sensuous and organic, just like your salad.
Joanne says
Whoa those bowls are awesome! You can't go wrong with a dish that has both thai and noodles in the title, that is for sure.
Kevin says
This is my kind of salad with lots of fresh ingredients and Thai flavours. Nice bowls!
Chocolate Shavings says
I'm jealous of those bowls, they're gorgeous! And that salad sounds like the perfect treat on a hot day day.

those bowls are divine Pam!
And the salad looks lovely. I actually think I may have all those ingredients in my fridge/pantry - so I might try the recipe for lunch!
chellebelle says
Oh Pam! I love these bowls! and the noodles look great.. I really need to try to spatchcocked chicken-I keep looking for that perfect chicken.. and you seem to have found it. I am also horribly inept at asian cooking.. ever time I try, I fail... Italian- you bet, southern comfort food...of course, Basque traditional fair.. obscure, but my culture..so yep. Asian.. I am sorely lacking...
maybelle's mom says
the bowls are hot--and my guess is my husband thinks your thighs are too.
Lisa says
I love your recipes and even tried a few (all delish, by the way) but what I really LOVE are the cat pix. We need more cat pix.
Mari at Once Upon a Plate says
Pam, I love the ying/yang look of your beautiful new bowls! No Homegoods store near me. 🙁
Your noodles look soo good. And HAY (lol), I did a Donna Hay recipe on my blog today, too!
Have a great weekend! xo
Mary says
Mmmm.. sounds yummy and looks delish! Love the bowls too.
Grace says
LOVE the bowls, pam, and i'm glad we got to see how the spatchcocked critter was used this week. meanwhile, what do you have against limas?
Kat says
I have been in the Pottery Barn once and was in awe at all the dishes, bowls, on and on. We don't have the Homegoods store. :(And I completely understand about trying to control oneself in these type of stores.
Paula says
Loves: These bowls and the chicken and noodle salad within. Will eat your portion of limas and liver. The only thighs I like are the chicken variety. Perhaps turkey, too. Spatchcooked chicken recipes make the list, too.Dislikes: That I have never been to a Homegoods store.
Katherine Aucoin says
If your bowls um, turn up like missing or anything, um, don't come to Seymour looking for them - lol!
I really like the bolws and they are perfect for that tasty noodle salad.
La Table De Nana says
I love that type of food too..but your bowls ... even more I think..Yin and Yang!
shabby girl says
Love Homegoods! Love Thai food! Love noodles! Love your new bowls!!!
Marjie says
I wondered what had happened to spatchcocking this week! Great new bowls.And I think there are very few people who love lima beans, even fewer who love liver, and fewest of all who love their thighs.
Amy says
You funny lady. Got my chuckle on this morning, thanks!
Those bowls are great! I'm not familiar with Homegoods, but I will be perusing their online shop now. Could be dangerous.
Anh says
Yum! I love the flavour and especially your pretty bowls!
