Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Whisk until smooth, adding water gradually until desired consistency is reached.
  3. In a large bowl, mix shredded cabbage, carrots, cucumber, red bell pepper, and cilantro. Toss to combine well before adding sliced chicken on top.
  4. Drizzle the peanut dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
