Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a pot of boiling water or broth. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove, let cool, and shred into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage. Peel and julienne the carrots. Chop the cilantro and slice the green onions thinly.
Prepare the dressing by mixing lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, sesame oil, and minced garlic in a small bowl. If desired, finely chop the red chili and stir it into the dressing for some heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, cilantro, and green onions.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Sprinkle roasted peanuts over the salad for added crunch and garnish.
