Ingredients
- 500 g Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 200 g Rice noodles
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup Crushed peanuts

- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 2 tsp Honey
- 1 Garlic clove
- 1 tsp Sriracha sauce (optional)
- 2 tbsp Water
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken thighs for about 5-6 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
Step 3
Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Step 4
Peel the carrot into long ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Slice the cucumber into thin half-moons and the red bell pepper into thin strips.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, sriracha sauce (if using), and water until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.
Step 6
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked rice noodles, carrot ribbons, cucumber slices, red bell pepper, and cilantro leaves. Toss to combine.
Step 7
Drizzle the satay dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat evenly.
Step 8
Top the salad with the sliced chicken and sprinkle with crushed peanuts for garnish.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, flavorful dish!
