Thai inspired chicken salad

2 chicken breasts (approx 250g)
1 green chilli
5 kaffir lime leaves
2 tbsp oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
300g carrots
300g white cabbage
50g peanuts
1 handful chopped coriander

Dressing

4 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tsp muscovado sugar

Remove and discard the seeds and membranes from the chilli and cut it into thin strips. Cut the lime leaves into thin strips. Cut the chicken breasts into strips of 1 cm, and fry in the oil with the chilli and lime leaves for approximately 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Add the garlic for the last minute and stir constantly. Cut the carrots into very thin slices and slice the cabbage finely.

Whisk the dressing until the sugar has dissolved. Chop the peanuts. Mix together all the ingredients and garnish with peanuts and coriander.
