We took takeout where it’s never been before; chicken pad Thai trades in the wok for the casserole treatment, resulting in one of the easiest global dinners you’ll ever make. And by easiest, we mean you don’t have to bother cooking the noodles or use more than one dish from start to finish.

1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
2 teaspoons fish sauce

1 cup shredded carrot
2 cups Progresso™ reduced-sodium chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)

Steps

1

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.

In large bowl, mix eggs, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce and fish sauce; stir in chicken, cabbage and carrot.
3

In 1-quart microwavable bowl, mix broth, soy sauce and butter. Microwave uncovered on High 4 to 6 minutes or until steaming. Add noodles to baking dish, pulling apart to spread evenly in dish. Pour broth mixture over noodles; let stand 2 minutes. Using tongs, carefully turn noodles, and spread in even layer.
4

Expert Tips

tip 1
Be sure to cover all of the noodles with the chicken mixture to make sure they soften completely during baking.
tip 2
Fish sauce is a fermented, strong-smelling sauce that imparts a complex flavor to this dish. The smell goes away, leaving just a deep, umami flavor.
