Method

Preparation of Salad

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Using a vegetable peeler or grater, shred the green papaya and carrots into thin strips. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and trim the green beans into bite-sized pieces. Chop the cilantro roughly and slice the Thai chili peppers thinly.

  2. 2

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green papaya, carrots, halved cherry tomatoes, trimmed green beans, chopped cilantro, and sliced Thai chili peppers. Mix everything gently to combine.

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the boneless chicken breast until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes on each side. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it cool before slicing.

  2. 4

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix together fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar, and peanut butter to create a marinade. Once the chicken has cooled, slice it into thin strips and coat it with the marinade. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.

Preparation of Dressing

  1. 5

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, palm sugar, crushed garlic, and roasted peanuts until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  2. 6

    Combine Everything

    Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss to coat evenly. Add the marinated chicken strips on top and gently mix to incorporate.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Salad

    Transfer the green papaya salad with chicken to a serving platter or individual bowls. Garnish with additional cilantro and crushed peanuts if desired. Serve immediately.
