Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound cooked chicken (from rotisserie chicken, leftover roast chicken, or from the deli section of the supermarket), cubed
1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
1/2 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup Thai Peanut Sauce, recipe follows
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cups shredded lettuce
1/4 cup chopped dry-roasted peanuts
3 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon hot sauce

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, tomatoes, celery, and onion. Add the peanut sauce, mayonnaise, and lime juice and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. (At this point, you can refrigerate the salad for up to 3 days.)
  • Place the lettuce on 4 individual plates and top with the chicken mixture. Sprinkle the peanuts over the top just before serving.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sauce ingredients until well blended and set the pan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and let simmer for 10 minutes.
  • The leftover peanut sauce will keep in the refrigerator up to 4 days or in the freezer up to 3 months; thaw completely in the refrigerator or microwave for about 3 minutes on LOW before using.
  • Yield: approximately 3 1/2 cups

I love the crunchy texture of the peanuts in this salad. They add a nice contrast to the tender chicken and vegetables.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great make-ahead meal. Just prep the salad ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, simply add the chicken.
