Peanut Chicken with Cabbage Slaw image

Our take on takeout -- with ginger, soy, and sesame in the mix -- is better tasting and better for you. No chopsticks needed. Fix a double batch tonight, and bring some for lunch tomorrow; its good hot or cold.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast half (about 6 ounces)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 cup shredded cabbage
2 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
1 small carrot, shredded
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce

Steps:

  • In a small skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium. Season chicken with salt and pepper; cook until browned and opaque throughout, about 6 minutes per side.
  • Meanwhile, make slaw: In a medium bowl, whisk 3 teaspoons vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil. Add cabbage, scallions, carrot, and ginger; toss to combine. Set aside.
  • Make sauce: In a small bowl, stir together peanut butter, soy sauce, and remaining teaspoon vinegar; if necessary, thin with water.
  • Mound slaw on a serving plate. Thinly slice chicken crosswise on the diagonal. Place alongside slaw; spoon a little sauce on the plate, and serve remaining sauce on the side.
