    Ingredients:

    Warm Snow Pea & Chicken Salad
    1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast , trimmed
    1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth
    3 tablespoons rice vinegar
    3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
    3 teaspoons toasted sesame oil , divided
    2 tablespoons tahini or cashew butter
    1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
    2 cloves garlic , minced
    1 pound snow peas , trimmed and thinly slivered lengthwise
    2 tablespoons chopped cashews


    Steps:


    1: Place chicken in a medium skillet or saucepan and add broth; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to cool. Shred into bite-size pieces. (Cool and refrigerate the broth, reserving it for another use.)

    2: Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil and tahini (or cashew butter) in a large bowl until smooth.

    3: Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in slivered peas and cook, stirring, until bright green, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the dressing.

    4: Add the chicken to the bowl with the peas; toss to combine. Serve sprinkled with cashews.
