Combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag. Massage the chicken and move the marinade all around so that the chicken is covered. Place in the refrigerator for at least four hours.
-
When ready, grill or bake the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees and juices run clear. In a 350-degree oven, this will take about 40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts. A grill will be faster (about 8 minutes per side), again, depending on the size of the chicken breasts. When chicken is done, let cool for about 10 minutes, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
-
Combine all the salad ingredients (except the peanuts) in a large bowl. Add the chicken.
-

-
Combine all the peanut sauce ingredients. Adjust the sugar or water until you get the flavor and consistency you want.
-
Serve salad on individual plates and drizzle with a generous portion of peanut sauce. Garnish with peanuts if desired.
