Thai Peanut Chicken Salad

Thai Peanut Chicken Salad Recipe

This Thai Peanut Chicken Salad has everything you need in a meal from the crisp cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, shredded chicken breast and topped with a peanut sauce make it a delicious and filling meal. We’re also sharing another tasty option where you coat the chicken in the peanut sauce and finish with our flavourful sesame dressing.

Thai Peanut Chicken Salad

Peanut Sauce or Sesame Dressing?

Or both! While the photos we’re sharing in this recipe only show the peanut sauce we also love this Thai Peanut Chicken Salad with a sesame dressing. However, when I made this recipe the first time I only used the peanut sauce because I have a picky eater, my daughter.

vegetables for Thai Peanut Chicken Salad with peanuts and peanut sauce

I seriously can’t emphasize how picky she is, yes she’s gotten better as she’s gotten older but it’s still challenging. She’s also not a salad lover, heaven forbid this teen should eat lettuce, I know! She doesn’t even have lettuce on her burgers or tomatoes or the list could go on but I won’t. 

Peanut sauce ingredients

Know one thing my daughter does love? Peanut butter! Even then though it depends on what it’s mixed with so I decided not to completely coat the chicken in peanut sauce but rather finish the salad with it so that everyone could add the amount of sauce that they want.

shredded chicken

Did it work? Yes, she does like the sauce hurray, she also liked it on the chicken and while the cabbage wasn’t her favourite, she said it was better than lettuce. She didn’t eat all of the cabbage but still take that as a win.

So the next time I made this yummy and oh so filling Thai Peanut Chicken Salad, I dumped the chicken in the peanut sauce and completely coated the chicken and then we mixed it in with the cabbage and carrots. We finished it with our sesame dressing that we’ve used in our Crunchy Asian Salad which is one of my favourite meals.

So there you go two options use only the peanut sauce to finish this tasty Thai Peanut Chicken Salad or finish it with a sesame dressing.

Alternative Toppings

I love the crunchiness of the peanuts to this salad and if you wanted more crunch goodness you could also add slivered almonds and/or crispy wonton strips. In addition you can add more vegetables from snap peas to well whatever your heart desires.

Make sure to PIN this recipe.

This delicious Thai Peanut Chicken Salad has everything you need in a meal from the crisp cabbage, veggies, chicken and topped with a yummy peanut sauce.

Thai Peanut Chicken Salad

This delicious Thai Peanut Chicken Salad has everything you need in a meal from the crisp cabbage, veggies, chicken and topped with a yummy peanut sauce.

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of chopped green cabbage
  • 2 cups of chopped red cabbage
  • 1.5 cups of julienned carrots
  • 1 red pepper sliced
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 4 tbsp chopped peanuts
  • 2 chicken breasts cooked and shredded
  • Bunch of cilantro

Dressing

  • ¾ cup of peanut butter
  • ¼ cup of olive oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • Dollop of sambal hot sauce
  • 2 tbsp of high quality soy sauce
  • 2-4 tbsp water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Shred chicken
  2. Prepare veggies and place in bowl, set aside the peanuts and the sesame seeds.
  3. Prepare dressing by blending in a blender on pulse. Depending on the type of peanut butter you use you may need water.
  4. Pour about ½ the dressing on top of the salad. If you want really saucy salad you can add more.
  5. Garnish with chicken and the sesame seeds, cilantro, and peanuts. You can add more dressing too. *see notes about sesame dressing.

Notes

As mentioned in our post you can do the following as a variation:

Put the shredded chicken in the peanut sauce (I would do this when the chicken is warm but not hot) and coat the chicken and then add it to the salad and mix in with the cabbage and other veggies. Top with our sesame dressing (optional) that you can find HERE.

The cooking time does include cooking the chicken breasts but we don't provide any instruction, cook it how you want. Leftover rotisserie chicken also works well.

Thai Peanut Chicken Salad

Now doesn’t that look easy? I also love this Thai Peanut Chicken Salad with snow peas and I tend to add more cilantro for myself because I love cilantro, especially with the peanut sauce!

Be prepared to be very full after eating this Thai Peanut Chicken Salad, it’s no side salad it is a complete delicious meal that is also a healthier option for dinner time.

We hope that this delicious recipe will have you loving salads (if you don’t already). The creamy Thai style peanut sauce whether mixed with the chicken or added as a topping is what makes this salad so delicious! My hubby loves peanut sauce so I have to make extras of it just for him, good thing it’s so easy to make.

I’m Michelle aka Powered by Mom. I’m married with one daughter, my hubby was my high school sweetheart, our two dogs Nyx and Cleo and our cat Oliver. As you can see we’re a family of animal lovers.

As an animal lover I also volunteer with a rescue organization called Three Little Pitties All Breed Rescue.

Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year wh Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year where we'll start spending more time outside enjoying the weather, grilling and the longer days of light and so much more. ☀️⛱ Sponsored 

I may have gotten a head start as we went camping for the first time this year and this really reminded me of how I love to sit outside and enjoy a good campfire or one in our firepit in our backyard and enjoying the quiet of the evening and stars twinkling in the night sky. 🌠⭐

It also brings up memories of good food, grilled food my favourite kind with all those fun and delicious marinades, rubs and sauces to dress up and enhance the flavour of your food. Stay tuned for my upcoming recipe that has a delicious and creamy lemon sauce with chicken cooked in a #castiron pan. 🍋🍳

Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and just got back. We took both of our dogs with us and we think we broke them 😆 #CleoTheDog & #NyxTheDog were both soooo tired by around 8:30pm each night that they would go to our trailer door & look at ys waiting to be let in 😁 while we continued to enjoy our campfire 🔥

It was great to unplug there is no cell service let alone internet where we go so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We are lucky to live in #BeautifulBC. Swipe to see our 📷  more beautiful nature photos to come soon. 🌿🌼

One tip is to donate supplies. 🪀🐈🐩Right now it's kitten season and the rescue I work with the cat department @threelittlepittiesrescue we're being asked to rescue mamas with kittens and kittens without mamas where we need milk replacement like the one from @tailspring which is goats milk based 🐐🍼

We had some kittens try it out and they LOVED it! 🐱

In case you're wondering yes this photo of a mama cat and her kittens are actual kitties that 3LP has taken into their program. 🐱🐈‍⬛ They're not yet available for adoption as the kittens are too young and still need mama. The puppies in the other photos were also rescued by 3LP and I believe they've all found furever homes. 🏡💖😻
