Directions
- Prep the produce: wash and dry all fresh produce, then pat dry.
- Make the peanut sauce by juicing the lime into a small bowl, then whisk in peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, water, and the listed spices; set the sauce aside.
- Prepare the marinade: peel and mince the garlic, then whisk it with soy sauce, oil, and crushed red pepper in a medium bowl.
- Cut the chicken horizontally to form thin cutlets, add to the marinade, turn to coat, and set aside.
- Whisk together oil, mayo, vinegar, salt, and pepper in another bowl to make the dressing; set aside.
- Preheat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the chicken until charred and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side; remove to a plate and loosely cover with foil.
- Using a clean board, thinly slice the shallot, quarter the tomatoes, trim and small-dice the peppers, and slice the cucumber; add all to the dressing bowl and toss to coat, then add minced mint and mix with the saladIngredients.
- Toast the buns if desired, then spread half of the peanut sauce on the bottom buns, top with chicken and the remaining sauce, and close with the tops.
- To serve, divide the burgers and salad between plates and enjoy.
Two tips
- Prep tip: chop or slice the vegetables ahead of time and keep them in the fridge to speed up assembly.
- Serving idea: pile extra mint into the salad or serve the burger with an extra squeeze of lime for brightness.
