http://www.skinnykitchen.com/recipes/skinnyfied-chicken-pad-thai/

Ingredients
8 ounces rice noodles
¼ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoon fresh lime juice, about 2 limes
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Cooking spray, we used olive oil spray
1 pound boneless, skinless, chicken breast or tenders, cut into bite-size strips
6 cloves garlic, (about 2 tablespoons) minced
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon sesame oil or any vegetable oil, see shopping tip
1½ cup bean sprouts
¼ cup green onions, sliced
Topping
¼ cup peanuts, chopped
¼ cup green onions, sliced
Red pepper flakes

Instructions
1. Fill a large pot half way with water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in noodles. Let stand for 8 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the chicken broth, lime juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
3. Coat a large nonstick pan with cooking spray. Add chicken and cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Stir often. Add garlic and continue to cook and stir for about 2-3 minutes until chicken is no longer pink. Transfer to a plate or bowl and set aside.
4. Coat the pan again with cooking spray. Add the egg whites and scramble until cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.
5. In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add drained noodles and sprouts. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth mixture, cooked chicken and egg whites. Continue to cook and stir for 1-2 minutes until hot.
6. Divide Pad Thai among 5 bowls or plates. Top each with a little peanuts and green onions. Add a very little amount of red pepper flakes to each or let everybody add their own, if desired.
