Grilled Chicken with Crunchy Peanut Slaw
Not a drop of cabbage in this slaw --so good with fresh veggies! This was just my serving but presentation would look so much better with a serving platter with the whole recipe plated. Again from Clinton Kelly on The Chew. We used chicken tenders not cutlets.
- 4 chicken cutlets
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil (divided)
- 3 limes
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 pinch chili flakes
- 1 1/2 cups English cucumber (cut into matchsticks)
- 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 bunch scallions (thinly sliced on a bias)
- 1/4 cup roasted, salted peanuts (roughly chopped, plus more to garnish)
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and drizzle with a tablespoon of sesame oil.
- Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 3 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until charred on both sides and cooked through in the middle. Remove chicken to a platter.
- Meanwhile, make the slaw. In a large bowl, whisk together the juice of 3 limes, peanut butter, grated ginger, rice wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and canola oil. Season to taste with chili flakes, salt and pepper.
- Add the prepared cucumbers, red bell peppers, carrots, cilantro, scallions and peanuts. Toss to evenly coat and to combine.
- Serve chicken cutlets with the Crunchy Peanut Slaw. Garnish with more chopped peanuts.
- Tip: prepare the vegetables and dressing ahead of time and keep separate in the refrigerator. Dress the slaw before serving.
