Preparation
Grill the chicken
Heat the BBQ on medium-high, making sure to oil the grill first. Pat the chicken* dry with paper towel; season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P. Grill on the BBQ (or in a grill pan heated with a drizzle of oil on medium-high, partially covered), 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before thinly slicing against the grain.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, quarter the lime. Remove the kale leaves from the stems; thinly slice the leaves. Thinly slice the scallion, separating the white bottom and green top.
Toast the peanuts
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Toast the peanuts, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until lightly browned and fragrant. Transfer to a bowl.
Make the vinaigrette
In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, honey, white bottom of the scallion, juice of ½ the lime wedges, ½ the peanuts, 3 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P.
Make the salad
To the bowl of vinaigrette, add the kale. Massage the kale, 1 to 2 min., until softened. Add the cabbage and S&P; toss well.
Plate your dish
Divide the salad between your plates. Top with the chicken. Garnish with the green top of the scallion and remaining peanuts. Serve the remaining lime wedges on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
