Chicken Salad
This Asian-inspired dish brings together tender strips of chicken marinated in a flavorful blend of soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, chili, and ginger. The chicken is then pan-fried to golden perfection and served on a bed of crunchy Chinese cabbage, carrots, red onion, and sugar snap peas. Topped with a nutty dressing made with peanut butter, honey, and sesame oil, this dish is a delightful combination of textures and flavors that will leave your taste buds singing.
