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.

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.
