- 3 cups Cooked Chicken shredded or chopped
- ¼ cup Green Onions sliced thin
- ½ large Red Bell Pepper sliced or diced
- ¼ cup Peanuts chopped
- 15-18 ounces Coleslaw Mix
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
Thai Peanut Dressing
- ¼ cup Peanut Butter
- ¼ cup Water or more as needed to thin for dressing
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- ½ teaspoon White Wine Vinegar

In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked chicken, green onions, bell pepper, peanuts, coleslaw mix, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the peanut butter, water, sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar. Cook peanut sauce over low heat while whisking. Bring to a low boil, then remove from the heat, whisk until smooth, and allow to cool to room temperature before stirring in the lime juice.
Once the peanut dressing has cooled to room temperature, add as desired to the bowl with salad ingredients and toss until coated.
To serve, top with additional crushed peanuts and an extra drizzle of peanut dressing, along with red chili sauce if desired. Enjoy!
