Instructions
Thai Salad Dressing
In a small bowl you will want to add in all your dressing ingredients. Peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, water, vinegar, oil, lime juice, red pepper flakes, garlic, and the ginger.
Mix well until nice and creamy and set aside.
Thai Salad
In a skillet on the stove, add the oil and then heat on medium heat.
The first thing is to take your raw chicken and take just a little of the peant sauce and baste the top side.
Place the chicken in the skillet once the oil is hot. Sear for 3-5 minutes per side. When you go to flip the chicken over to cook the other side, baste the other side of the chicken with the peanut sauce.
When the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit internally, remove and allow the chicken to rest 5 minutes.
Now add your lettuce and all your veggies into the bowl and top with the sliced Thai chicken. Then you can drizzle with your Thai dressing, and enjoy.
Notes
Lime - You can use lemon or lime juice for this recipe. Spicy - Use 1/2 teaspoon for a mild flavor or 2 teaspoons for a spicy Thai salad. Meal Prep - If you want to meal prep you can store your dressing in a separate container, or add to bottom of a mason jar. Then add edamame and other sturdy veggies, to help act as a barrier. Then lettuce on top. Chicken - You want to make sure your chicken reaches 165 degrees F internally. Depending on size of chicken the cook time will vary.
