Chicken Salad with Apple and Basil<\/strong><\/p>\n

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts<\/p>\n

4 teaspoons kosher salt<\/p>\n

1 teaspoon black pepper<\/p>\n

\u00bc cup fresh lime juice (2-3 limes)<\/p>\n

1 Tablespoon rice vinegar<\/p>\n

2 Tablespoons brown sugar<\/p>\n

4 scallions (white and green parts) thinly sliced<\/p>\n

2 Granny Smith apples, diced<\/p>\n

1\/3 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped<\/p>\n

2 Tablespoons thinly sliced mint<\/p>\n

\u00bd cup thinly sliced fresh basil<\/p>\n

Pound chicken to even thinness and place in large saucepan. Add enough water to cover the chicken by \u00bd inch.<\/p>\n

Add 3 teaspoons of the salt and \u00bd teaspoon on the pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until no pick remains, 8-10 minutes. Transfer chicken to bowl of ice water and set aside for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

In large bowl combine the lime juice, vinegar and sugar, stirring until sugar dissolves.<\/p>\n

Add scallions and apples and toss.<\/p>\n

Drain chicken and pat dry. (You could also prepare the chicken the day before, drain the water and refrigerate overnight.)<\/p>\n

Dice chicken and add to apple mixture.<\/p>\n

Add peanuts, mint, basil and remaining salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n

(If you have any left over, it is still good the next day. )<\/p>\n
