Sesame Crusted Chicken with Snap Pea, Cucumber & Cilantro SaladSesame Crusted Chicken with Snap Pea, Cucumber & Cilantro Salad — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 13 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1.02 kg chicken breasts, boneless skinless

1 small bunch cilantro

1 ½ English cucumbers

3 (2 ½ cm) pieces ginger root

1 ½ jalapeño peppers

1 ½ limes

3 (227 g) pkg sugar snap peas

black pepper

cornstarch

mayonnaise

salt

sesame seeds

toasted sesame oil

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Peel and mince ginger; place in a large bowl.

Juice limes into the bowl with the ginger.

Quarter jalapeño peppers lengthwise; seed and remove ribs with a spoon. Mince and add to the bowl. (Be careful with jalapeños; do not touch your eyes and ensure you wash your hands after handling or wear gloves while preparing.)

Shave cilantro leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Add to the bowl along with oil and salt; whisk to combine the dressing and set aside.

Place sesame seeds and cornstarch in a medium bowl; stir to combine.

Pat chicken dry with paper towels and place on a cutting board. Holding a knife parallel to the cutting board, cut the chicken in half horizontally to form thin cutlets; season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Spread mayo over both sides of the chicken, then dredge in the sesame coating, pressing gently to adhere. Transfer to a large plate.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom; working in batches if necessary, add the chicken and cook until the coating is golden and chicken is cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean plate.

Meanwhile, using a clean cutting board, trim and quarter cucumbers lengthwise, then cut crosswise into thin pieces. Add to the bowl with the dressing.

Cut snap peas crosswise into thin pieces, add to the bowl, and toss to combine the salad.

To serve, divide chicken and salad between plates. Enjoy!
