If your chicken isn't pre-cooked, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes, then shred or dice it.
While the chicken cooks or cools, prepare your peanut dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, fresh lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha (or red pepper flakes). Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency (it should be pourable but still creamy).
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sliced cucumber, chopped mint, sliced red bell pepper, shredded carrot, and sliced red onion.
Pour the peanut dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss gently until everything is well coated.
Divide the mixed greens or shredded cabbage between two serving plates. Top with the dressed chicken salad.
Garnish with chopped peanuts and a fresh lime wedge. Serve immediately and enjoy!
