Cooking steps
1
  • Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add chicken in an even layer; season all over with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on one side, 1-2 minutes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over and cooked through, 3-5 minutes more.

  • Remove from heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe out pan.

2
  • While chicken cooks, wash and dry produce.

  • Trim and halve cucumbers lengthwise; thinly slice lengthwise into strips. Zest one lime and quarter both (for 4 servings, zest two limes and quarter all four). Finely chop cilantro.

3
  • In a large bowl, combine cucumbers, a big pinch of sugar, and a big pinch of salt. Set aside to cure.

4
  • In a small bowl, whisk together chili sauce, Sriracha, garlic-ginger scallion paste, lime zest, 2 TBSP olive oil, ½ tsp sugar, ½ tsp water, and juice from half the lime (4 TBSP olive oil, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp water for 4 servings). Stir until sugar has dissolved and dressing is thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice, sugar, or salt if desired.

5
  • Drain any excess liquid from cucumbers and pat dry with paper towels.

  • To bowl with cucumbers, add chicken, coleslaw mix, cabbage and carrot mix, and cilantro. Toss with as much dressing as you like.

6
  • Divide salad between bowls. Top with crispy fried onions and wonton strips. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
