Ingredients

  • 250 g cabbage shredded
  • 1/2 large red onion sliced
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 250 g edamame
  • 500 g chicken breast halved
  • Coriander to serve
  • 20 g crushed peanuts
  • Dressing:
  • 2 Tbs peanut butter
  • 2 Tbs soy sauce / tamari
  • 2 Tbs rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 2 tsp ginger

Instructions

  • Place the chicken breasts in a large non-stick frying pan. Add enough water to fully submerge the chicken breasts. Cover the pan with a lid and heat over medium-high heat until the water reaches a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Simmer for ~5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts, until the chicken is fully cooked through.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the water and let it rest for 5 minutes before shredding. Use two forks to shred the chicken.
  • Meanwhile, add the cabbage, carrot, and red onion to a large bowl and toss to combine. Add the edamame and shredded chicken.
  • In a small jug, combine all the dressing ingredients and mix well.
  • Divide the slaw into 4 servings and drizzle with the dressing. Mix well. Top with coriander and peanuts. Enjoy!
