How to make?

Ingredients

3 T grapeseed oil

1/2 cup natural peanut butter without sugar

3 T soy sauce

2 T fresh-squeezed lime juice

1 T ground ginger root

1 tsp. crushed or minced garlic

2 T Stevia In the Raw Granulated Sweetener, or sweetener of your choice

1/3 cup water

2 cups shredded chicken

1 red bell pepper, cut into small 1/4 inch dice

1 lb. broccoli, cut into small bite-sized pieces

1/4 cup chopped peanuts for garnish

Directions

If you need to poach the chicken, trim chicken breasts and cook about 10-15 minutes at a low simmer in water or chicken stock. Let chicken cool. Cut chicken into strips and then use your fingers to pull apart into shredded pieces. In a non-metal bowl big enough to hold all the salad ingredients, whisk together the oil, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, ground ginger, crushed garlic, Stevia In the Raw Granulated Sweetener or sweetener of your choice and water. Taste the dressing and see if you want to adjust the seasonings. Add the shredded chicken pieces, toss with the dressing, and let the chicken marinate while you chop the other ingredients. Cut away the ends and remove the seeds of the red bell pepper, and then chop into small pieces about 1/4 inch square. Cut the broccoli into small bite-sized pieces. Add the diced red bell pepper and broccoli pieces to the salad bowl and toss with the chicken/dressing mixture. You can serve this right away or refrigerate for a few hours. Garnish with chopped peanuts when serving if desired. I thought this was very good even after it had been in the fridge overnight; I only wished I had more left over!.
