This is a good way to use up extra chicken from Thai Peanut Noodles.
What you need (I just cut up enough ingredients to make a large salad. There wasn't much measuring here):
For the salad:
red bell pepper, diced
salad (I had a butter lettuce blend, so that's what I used)
peanuts, chopped
green onions, chopped
carrots, chopped
A bit of salt
For the chicken & peanut simmer sauce*:
cooking oil
chicken (I used a pound), cut up into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp Thai sweet red chili sauce
2 tbsp water
*I only used about 1/2 pound of chicken for the salad, so using 1 pound will make a larger salad. Or, save the other 1/2 pound for Thai Peanut Noodles
Steps:
1. Heat the oil in a pan, and start to cook the chicken
2. Mix up all the simmer sauce ingredients
3. When the chicken is getting close to done, add the peanut sauce, saving just a little bit
4. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for a bit, but keep the heat low
5. When the chicken is done, cool it in the fridge, along with the rest of the peanut sauce
6. When the chicken is cool, add it with all of the salad ingredients in a big bowl.
7. Drizzle with the rest of the peanut sauce.
