Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup bell peppers (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup carrots (julienned)
  • 1 cup cucumbers (diced)
  • ½ cup cilantro (chopped)
  • ½ cup mint (chopped)
  • ½ cup unsweetened peanut butter
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional)
  • Water as needed for consistency

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken for about 6 minutes on each side until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Allow to rest before slicing.
  2. While chicken cools, chop bell peppers into thin slices, julienne carrots into strips, and dice cucumbers into small pieces.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey (if using), and water. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Slice cooled chicken into strips or cubes and toss in a large bowl with chopped veggies, cilantro, and mint.
  5. Drizzle peanut dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later enjoyment.
