A refreshing and flavorful salad with crunchy vegetables, tender chicken, and a rich peanut dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp water (optional for thinning)

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken breasts in a pan over medium heat until fully done, about 6-7 minutes per side. Let them cool, then slice thinly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, cucumber, and cilantro.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Add water if needed to thin.
  4. Add sliced chicken to the vegetables, drizzle with peanut dressing, and toss well.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add crushed peanuts just before serving.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
  • Let the salad sit for 10 minutes before serving for better flavor.
