Cuisine: Thai

Ingredients

5 heaping cups slaw mix
½ small red bell pepper (stem and seeds removed and thinly sliced)
½ small yellow bell pepper (stem and seeds removed and thinly sliced)
3 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced* (1 lb))
1 honey crisp apple (chopped)
½ cup shelled edamame (if frozen, thawed)
½ cup cilantro leaves
½ cup scallion greens (chopped)
¼ cup dry roasted peanuts (roughly chopped)
toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

For the Dressing:

½ cup PBfit peanut butter powder (or PB2)
¼ cup lime juice
3 tablespoons water
4 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce ( or gluten-free tamari)
4 teaspoons maple syrup (or sugar free)
1 ½ tablespoons toasted sesame oil (or avocado oil)
2 to 3 teaspoons sriracha ( or sambal oelek, omit if you don’t like spice)
2 teaspoons grated ginger ( or ginger paste)

Instructions

To make the dressing, add all of the ingredients to a medium mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
To a large bowl or 4 meal prep bowls add or divide the slaw mixture, bell peppers, chicken, apple, edamame, cilantro and scallions.
If serving right away, drizzle with the dressing, peanuts and sesame seeds. If meal prepping, transfer dressing to small containers and toss when ready to serve.

Notes

** I used a shredded rotisserie chicken breast to speed this up. To roast your own, coat 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon of avocado oil and salt and pepper to taste. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 400° F for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 165° F.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before shredding. 1 pound of cooked chicken breast will yield 3 cups of shredded chicken.
