It takes a little work, but the end result is absolutely worth it! This makes 6 very generous serving.

Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast, skinless boneless , thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups green onions, sliced, divided
1/4 cup lime juice
3 tablespoons Splenda
1 clove garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons fish sauce
8 oz. cole slaw, pre-shredded
3/4 cup red bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
3/4 cup yellow bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
1/3 cup mint, fresh, finely chopped
1/3 cup basil, fresh finely chopped
1/3 cup cilantro, fresh finely chopped
Directions
  1. Place chicken and 1/2 cup of the chopped green onions in a sauce pan. Fill pan with enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain and discard the onions, set aside.

  2. Place lime juice, Splenda, and garlic in a microwave safe bowl. Heat on high for 1 minute, or until Splenda has disolved. Let cool to room temperature, then add 2 tablespoons fish sauce.

  3. Place salad ingredients from the slaw through cilantro in a large bowl and toss together. Finely shred chicken and add to the salad. Pour lime juice mixture over the top and toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Serve with an optional sprinkle of finely chopped dry roasted peanuts.
