Spicy Thai Chicken Salad

January 11, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 13 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I have for you a light, refreshing salad with a little kick of heat and my favorite item, peanut butter.  Yup you guessed it, I made a Spicy Thai Chicken Salad.  This is one of my favorite salads.  Just about anytime I go to a new restaurant and I am not sure what to order because of calories, I stick to my safe menu option, which is the Asian Salad.  You really can’t go to wrong when ordering it, just get your dressing on the side and your pretty safe.
Spicy Thai Chicken Salad
I was so excited to make this salad, I had it in the back of my mind for weeks. Then one night my Husband said he was having frozen lasagna for dinner, since he bought a loaf of fresh Italian Bread. I didn’t argue one bit and said ok, have your lasagna and I knew what I was making. I LOVE fend for yourself nights!!  We haven’t had to many of them lately, which I guess is a good thing.  Trying to get my Husband on the healthy train.
Spicy Thai Chicken Salad
What inspired me to make this salad is that STAR Fine Foods sent me some infused olive oil. They come in 4 flavors, Grilling Garlic, Italian Basil, Mediterranean Chili Pepper and Asian Soy & Ginger. When I saw the Asian Soy & Ginger I knew immediately I was making this salad. I marinated my chicken in the Asian Soy & Ginger for about 30 minutes and then I popped my chicken on the grill. Oh man, did the chicken turn out so moist and delicious. It was just perfect! With one single ingredient this wonderful salad was made.
Spicy Thai Chicken Salad
The salad is made of simple ingredients such as; cabbage, sweet bell pepper, carrots, cucumber, mint and cilantro. The mint in the salad gave it a nice light, summery taste that complimented the vegetables. As for the dressing I made a nice Thai Peanut Sauce. It is creamy from the peanut butter, a little bit sweet from the sugar, tangy from the rice vinegar and soy sauce and a tad spicy from the chili oil. Right at the end I added more chili oil, but left it light for you in the recipe. You can add more if you want a spicier dressing. I think I am in love with this sauce! I could literally drink it! I know crazy, but it’s made with peanut butter and has the most wonderful subtle peanut taste!

Spicy Thai Chicken Salad
I have to tell you this recipe makes a lot of salad. My Husband saw my plate and said “are you really going to eat all that?” You bet I am! Since this recipe makes two salads, I ate one for dinner and took the other for lunch! Now I have a perfectly healthy lunch that will for sure fill me up and make me smile!

Since I have over bought on produce, you can bet you will be getting more healthy vegetable recipes!  I think I am off to a good start for January!!

Have a great day!

Toodles,


Jennifer

    Looks just yummy. I bet this recipe would also be great if you substitute Trader Joe’s Savory or Teriyaki baked tofu, or even mushrooms!

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you so much for all your kind messages about the loss of Samantha. I was overwhelmed by all your kindness. It meant so much to me. Thank you.
❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.
❤️
Have a beautiful day.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?
