Thai Crunch Salad
I went through lots of recipe testing before I came up with the perfect Thai Peanut Sauce. It is a light and fresh sauce with lots of depth of flavor. It works amazingly well on everything from Thai Peanut Lettuce Wraps to Thai Peanut Chicken Flatbread.
When the sauce is cooked down in recipes like these, it intensifies the richness of the sauce which really boosts it’s flavor. It also works great when you are wanting to add a lighter flavor to dishes like this Thai Peanut Chicken Crunch Slaw Salad.
Healthy Thai Peanut Chicken Coleslaw
I have been aware of my lack of veggie intake lately and been making an effort to eat more vegetables on a daily basis. This Thai Peanut Crunch Slaw Salad serves that purpose wonderfully. It is loaded with a variety of fresh veggies, including cabbage, carrots, broccoli slaw, bell peppers, cucumbers and green onions.
The chicken, peanuts and Thai Peanut Sauce add a richness and boost of protein that makes it a complete meal perfect for lunch or dinner.
Thai Slaw Meal Prep
This Asian Slaw with Shredded Chicken recipe makes a very large batch. That means it is great for serving at a pot luck dinner or bringing to an office work lunch.
I like to meal prep a bunch of the vegetables in a large bag as well as the chicken in peanut sauce in a container. Then, when I am wanting to make a quick lunch or dinner, I just toss together some of the vegetables with some leftover rotisserie chicken along with a squeeze of lime juice.
It is such a fresh and delicious meal prep and so much better than those bagged salads!

Molly says
Could I use canned chicken instead of rotisserie?
Danielle Green says
I don’t really use canned chicken, but if you use it regularly and enjoy it, I’m sure it would work in a salad like this.
Donna says
Not much flavour, won’t make again
Brittney Mitchell says
Have you tried all broccoli slaw?
Ann says
This was a Hit! It’s a keeper!
A Gill says
How many grams of chicken? From the UK x
Jenn says
Just curious; can this sit in the fridge overnight, or does it need to be served right away?
Danielle Green says
I would wait to dress it before serving or the slaw may start to get soggy.
Mayli Pozo says
Hi. What is broccoli slaw?
Danielle Green says
It is shredded broccoli stems and can be found near the coleslaw bags.
Mary Beth says
When you ask for broccoli slaw, does that mean broccoli chopped up like slaw, or is there something other than broccoli in broccoli slaw?
Danielle Green says
Broccoli slaw is a packaged option in the refrigerated section by the coleslaw. It is shredded broccoli stems, so finely chopped broccoli would make a good substitution.
Ali says
Will this last a week if I make it on Sunday for my lunches all week?
Danielle Green says
It would be very soggy after a week, unless you keep it undressed and only add the dressing as you eat it each day.
Judith B says
I love the look of this but my husband can’t have citrus. Have you made it without the lime juice or with an alternative?
Danielle Green says
I haven’t but a little splash of rice wine vinegar for acidity would be a good substitute
