Ingredients

Dressing/Marinade

  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon water adjust to get the consistency you'd like in your vinaigrette
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1.5 teaspoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons minced ginger
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes

Salad

  • 12 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs (roughly 4)
  • 3 cups shredded cabbage

  • 1 bell pepper thinly julienned

Garnish

  • green onions chopped
  • peanuts

Instructions

  • Stir together all marinade/dressing ingredients.
  • Remove ⅓ cup and add to a small dish along with the chicken thighs. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 24 hours).
  • While chicken is marinating, prepare the veggies and divide evenly between 4 2 cup capacity storage containers.
  • To cook chicken:Heat an outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Spray with oil to prevent sticking.
  • Grill chicken thighs for 5 minutes per side, until cooked through.
  • Alternatively, pre-heat a George Foreman grill for 5 minutes, then grill chicken thighs for 5 minutes total or until cooked through.
  • Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and adding to the storage containers.
  • To serve:Either dress the salad ahead of time or right before serving. Enjoy cold.

Notes

The vinaigrette is heavy on the ginger, if you don't like a strong ginger flavor, cut it back.
