Method

Lay the chicken between 2 sheets of clingfilm and bash with a rolling pin to flatten slightly
To make the marinade, put the soy sauce, honey, garlic and 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the chicken and put in the fridge to marinate for 10 mins.
Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 mins each side or until cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly and thinly slice or shred.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the remaining marinade to the pan and cook for 5-6 mins or until sticky. Set aside to cool.
Put the cabbage, carrot, cucumber, onion, mint, coriander, peanuts, sesame seeds and the chicken in a large serving bowl. Add the sticky soy dressing and toss to combine.
