Description

Savory, sweet and lightly spicy, this flavorful and healthy Thai-style Peanut Chicken Salad will remind you of the flavorful filling found in fresh lettuce wraps. Fresh lime adds a bright tang, and the crushed peanuts add great, crunchy texture.

Ingredients

  • 4 whole Chicken Breasts (skinless And Boneless)
  • 2 cloves Fresh Garlic, Pressed Through Garlic Press
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Rice Wine Vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoons Sambal Chili Paste
  • 1 Tablespoon Lime Zest
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Lime Juice
  • ½ teaspoons Fresh Ginger, Grated
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoons Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Cilantro, Chopped And Divided
  • 2 Tablespoons Scallions, Chopped And Divided
  • 4 Tablespoons Peanuts, Ground And Divided
  • 2 bags Mixed Greens (7oz Each), Or About 12 Romaine Leaves
  • 2 teaspoons Canola Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Lime Juice

Preparation

TIP: Prep all ingredients (chop, measure out, etc.) before beginning; this will help you have all items there at your fingertips once your ready to start cooking!

1)Begin by poaching the chicken breasts in some lightly salted water that is gently simmering, for about 10 minutes, or until chicken is completely cooked; then remove from water, and allow to cool. When cooled, finely mince the chicken breasts, or whirl them for a few seconds in a food processor to mince.
2)Place the minced, cooked chicken into a large bowl; add the ingredients beginning with the fresh garlic all the way down to and including the soy sauce; also add 1 Tablespoons of the fresh cilantro, 1 Tablespoon of scallions and 2 Tablespoons of the ground peanuts; toss all ingredients together, and check to see if salt/pepper needs adjusting.
3)In another bowl, add the mixed greens (or about 12 romaine leaves if substituting that for the mixed greens), and drizzle with the remaining 2 teaspoons of canola oil and 1 teaspoon of lime juice to waken up and give sheen; divide the mixed greens among 4 plates (or 3 romaine leaves per plate); finally, divide the minced chicken among the 4 plates, and garnish equally with the remaining cilantro, scallions and ground peanuts. Enjoy!
