Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 medium-sized Cucumber
- 1 medium-sized Red bell pepper
- 1 medium-sized Carrot
- 0.5 medium-sized Red onion
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 1 small (sliced) Red chili
- 0.25 cup (crushed) Peanuts

Instructions
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and juices run clear. Let the chicken cool slightly, then slice it into thin strips and set aside.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the cucumber, red bell pepper, carrot, and red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Set all the vegetables aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, and sliced red chili until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is well combined.
Add the cooked chicken slices, chopped cilantro, and mint leaves to the mixing bowl with the vegetables.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently to coat evenly.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter and garnish with crushed peanuts on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Thai-style chicken salad!
