Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, sesame oil, grated garlic, and finely chopped red chili to create the dressing. Set aside.
Peel the carrot and cut it into thin matchsticks. Slice the cucumber and red bell pepper into thin strips.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens, carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, and mint leaves.
Add the sliced chicken to the salad and gently toss to combine.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and mix well to evenly coat all ingredients.
Sprinkle roasted peanuts on top for a crunchy finish.
Serve the salad warm and enjoy!
