Asian Grilled Chicken Salad in Peanut butter & Chilli Dressing

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Asian Grilled Chicken Salad - Low calorie, dairy free,Gluten Free recipe of Juicy grilled chicken salad with crunchy veggies and a gorgeous asian inspired dressing made with peanut butter, soy sauce and honey.

This heavenly grilled chicken salad is the best of its kind.And why not really.It has peanut butter and chilli.

It is so so so good!!Forget the old staid ,dry, tasteless grilled chicken salads.This packs a mighty punch and how!?

I have some few secret tricks to get the BESTEST chicken ever.First, use chicken tenders.They are a lot more softer than the chicken breast and cook faster( yes faster than chicken breast!)

The second trick is to marinade or tenderise the chicken in buttermilk.All you have to do is, pop the chicken in a mix of yogurt, water,salt and garlic(optional).I do this in a big batch.At least 2-3 portion of chicken which makes instant meals super easy!
