Bang Bang Chicken Salad
Traditionally a Chinese street food dish, bang bang chicken gets its name from the ‘bang-bang’ action used to tenderise and shred the chicken!
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Preheat the grill to high. Place the chicken breast fillets on a baking tray, drizzle with vegetable oil and season generously. Place under the grill for 15-18 minutes, turning halfway.
Step 2
To make the bang bang sauce whisk together the peanut butter, sweet chilli sauce, lime juice, Chinese 5 spice and 6 tbsp boiling water. Season to taste with salt (or soy sauce).
Step 3
Next, shred the little gem lettuce, chop the cucumber, peel the carrots into ribbons and add to a large salad bowl or platter.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the oven and rest for 5 minutes (this allows the meat to relax). Finely slice or shred with a fork and toss through the salad.
Step 5
Serve the chicken salad, bang bang dressing and lime wedges on the table for everyone to help themselves to.
