METHOD

Cook the chicken.

Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat and add the chicken breasts, cover with a lid and leave for 12-14 mins until cooked through, if it’s not fully cooked, return to a low heat for 2 mins until cooked through. Remove and leave to cool slightly, then shred using two forks.

Cook the rice noodles.

Cook the rice noodles following pack instructions. Rinse under cold water and drain well. Set aside.

Prep the rest of the salad.

Peel the carrot into ribbons. Cut the cucumber into thin half-moons. Thinly slice the red pepper & spring onions. Roughly chop the coriander & mint. Roughly chop the roasted peanuts. Pick the herb’s leaves from the stems. 

Make the dressing.

Add the fish sauce, sriracha, lime juice & honey to your peanut butter jar with a big splash of water. Shake it all up & combine. If it’s not pourable, add a bit more water & shake again. 

Put it all together.

Add all the ingredients to a large bowl. Pour over the spicy peanut dressing. Toss it up to get everything coated.

Enjoy.
