Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 piece fresh red chili
- 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 cup cilantro leaves
- 0.5 piece red onion
- 1 piece cucumber
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
Step 3
While the chicken rests, prepare the dressing by whisking together the fish sauce, lime juice, granulated sugar, and finely sliced fresh red chili in a small bowl until well combined.
Step 4
Slice the rested chicken into thin strips and place in a mixing bowl.
Step 5
Thinly slice the red onion and cucumber. Roughly tear the mint leaves and cilantro. Add these to the mixing bowl with the sliced chicken.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetables, tossing gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Step 7
Serve the salad warm on a bed of fresh lettuce leaves, garnished with a few extra mint leaves for presentation.
