Method
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the chicken breasts and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes, until fully cooked. Remove, let cool slightly, then shred with two forks.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, honey, chili, and garlic to make the dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, and red onion.
Add the shredded chicken and half the mint and cilantro to the bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to combine.
Let the salad sit for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.
Top with the remaining herbs and chopped peanuts before serving.
Why it can fit a PCOS-friendly week
Chicken is a lean source of protein that supports muscle repair and maintenance. The generous amount of cabbage and carrots adds fibre, which promotes healthy digestion and can help support fullness, while fresh herbs contribute additional vitamins. This meal fits well into a balanced, lower glycaemic lunch pattern that is light but satisfying.
