Ingredients

1 pound cooked chicken (from rotisserie chicken, leftover roast chicken, or from the deli section of the supermarket), cubed
1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
1/2 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup Thai Peanut Sauce, recipe follows
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cups shredded lettuce
1/4 cup chopped dry-roasted peanuts

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, tomatoes, celery, and onion. Add the peanut sauce, mayonnaise, and lime juice and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. (At this point, you can refrigerate the salad for up to 3 days.)

Place the lettuce on 4 individual plates and top with the chicken mixture. Sprinkle the peanuts over the top just before serving.

Thai Peanut Sauce:

3 cups reduced-sodium beef broth

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

1 teaspoon hot sauce

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sauce ingredients until well blended and set the pan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and let simmer for 10 minutes.

The leftover peanut sauce will keep in the refrigerator up to 4 days or in the freezer up to 3 months; thaw completely in the refrigerator or microwave for about 3 minutes on LOW before using.

Yield: approximately 3 1/2 cups

no peanut flavor
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I didn't taste the peanut in the salad at all. I thought it was too much mayo not enough peanut and as another posting said... the tomatoes made it runny. Dont think I'll make it again :(Read more

Where is the Peanut?
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The peanut sauce was more beefy than peanuty, making it very very salty. Pretty good overall, but not what I expected.

Not so flavorful...
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I ended up replacing the beef broth for chicken broth but I don't think that made such a big difference. The sauce was way... too watery and there wasn't enough of a peanuty taste so I added more peanut butter!! Also, the tsp of hot sauce was not enough to provide any taste.Read more

Good, but not a flavorful as I like
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Good, although a little bland. I did forget to add the peanuts which I think would have helped a lot.
