This was a simple but very yummy Thai dish. If you're using pre-cooked or leftover chicken, you could have it all done in the time it takes to just cook the pasta! The ingredients are basic staples you probably already have on hand!

At the last minute, as I was cooking, I decided to toss in half an onion and half a red pepper.
