  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste

– 1 cup shredded carrots
– 1 cup sliced cucumbers

– ¼ cup chopped cilantro


Instructions

Creating Chicken Crispy Rice Salad with Creamy Peanut Dressing is a simple and enjoyable process. Follow these steps to make this delicious dish:

1. Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.

2. Prepare the Rice: If you haven’t already done so, cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions. Allow it to cool slightly.

3. Make the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary. If you like a little spice, add crushed red pepper flakes to taste.

4. Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked jasmine rice, salad greens, shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, green onions, and cilantro. Toss gently to mix the ingredients.

5. Add the Chicken: Slice the cooked chicken breasts and place them on top of the salad. Drizzle the creamy peanut dressing over the entire salad.

6. Toss and Serve: Gently toss everything together to ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
