Ingredients

Scale

1 pound chicken breast, cubed
1/4 cup low sodium tamari
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1–2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon tahini
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
3 cups shredded purple cabbage
3 cups shredded green cabbage
1 cup shredded carrot
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 cup shelled edamame
1/2 cup diced green onion
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
3 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons rice vinegar (dressing)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil (dressing)
2 tablespoons low sodium tamari (dressing)
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (dressing)
1 teaspoon minced garlic (dressing)
2 teaspoons sriracha (dressing)
2 tablespoons warm water

Instructions

  1. Whisk together all chicken marinade ingredients in a shallow bowl. Add chicken cubes and marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk all dressing ingredients until smooth, adding warm water to reach desired consistency.
  3. Shred the purple and green cabbage using a mandoline or knife. Place in a large bowl with carrots, bell peppers, edamame, onions, and cilantro.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a splash of oil. Add chicken (reserve marinade) and cook for 3 minutes per side until browned.
  5. Pour remaining marinade into the skillet. Cook until chicken reach 165°F and sauce thickens. Let cool slightly.
  6. Toss the vegetable mix with the peanut dressing. Add the chicken and toss to combine.
  7. Garnish with peanuts and extra cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • Use tamari to keep the recipe gluten-free.
  • Massage the cabbage with a little salt if you prefer a softer texture.
  • Great for meal prep as cabbage does not wilt quickly.
