Chris's Spicy Peanut Butter Pad Thai

This recipe is the result of my boyfriend taking one of my recipes and making it even better. Like the original recipe , this recipe is quick and easy and comes together in just under 30 minutes. This recipe uses Pad Thai noodles, eggs, and chicken as its primary ingredients, and is flavored with the original tangy Pad Thai sauce and creamy peanut buttery goodness. The noodles soak up the sauce so well in this recipe that you won't be able to not ask for seconds!
