This vibrant Asian chicken salad with snap peas and bok choy is a refreshing choice for those seeking a light yet satisfying meal. By poaching the chicken with aromatics like fresh coriander and spring onion, the meat remains tender and succulent while absorbing a delicate depth of flavour. The combination of crisp cucumber, spicy red chilli and blanched sugar snap peas provides a wonderful variety of textures that pair beautifully with the shredded chicken.
As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in lean protein and fresh vegetables. The zesty dressing, made with citrusy ponzu and ginger, adds a bright finish without the need for heavy sauces. It is an ideal recipe for a healthy midweek lunch or a simple weekend dinner that can be prepared in advance.
