Ingredients
For the Salad
1.25 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
1/2 Cup Soy Vay Teriyaki Sauce
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Bag Shredded Carrots
1-1.25 Cups Mung Bean Sprouts
1.25 Cups Purple Cabbage, Shredded
1.5 Cups Snap Peas
2 - 11 oz Cans Mandarin Oranges
10 Cups Spring Mix
For the Peanut Sauce
1/2 Cup Salted Natural Peanut Butter
1/2 tsp Ginger Powder
1/4 Cup Coconut Aminos
1/2 TBS Rice Vinegar
Juice of 1 Lime
Approximately 1/3 Cup Water (adjust to your preferred thickness)
Black Sesame Seeds, Optional
Instructions
Start by marinating your chicken thighs. Place them in a bowl and top with 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce. Make sure the thighs are covered and marinate for 20-30 minutes.
While your chicken marinates, prep your veggies.
-Thinly slice and chop your bell pepper.
-Rinse off your mung beans sprouts and pat dry.
-If you didn't buy pre-shredded carrot and cabbage, now is the time to prep those too!
Preheat your smoker/grill.
While the smoker is preheating, prep your peanut sauce.
-In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/2 tsp ginger powder, 1/4 cup coconut aminos, 1/2 tsp rice vinegar, the juice of a whole lime, and approximately 1/3 cup of water.
-Continue adding water until the sauce is the consistency you like. I wanted mine sort of thin so that it drizzled nicely over the salad.
Place your chicken thighs on the smoker and cook to an internal temperature of 165° (or a lil more if you like crispy edges!) This process should take about 25 minutes.
Once your chicken is cooked, roughly chop it up so that it is easy to add to your salad.
Assemble your salad by placing 2 cups of spring mix, 1/4 cup mung bean sprouts, 1/4 cup purple cabbage, 1/4 cup red bell pepper, 1/4 cup shredded carrot, 1/3 cup snap peas, 1/4 cup mandarin oranges, and about 3 oz of chopped chicken thighs in a bowl.
Drizzle with 1/5 of the peanut sauce, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and enjoy!
Don't forget to say grace! ✨
Pro Tips
You could grill, pan fry, or air fry the chicken thighs for a similar result if you don’t have a smoker!
