directions

In a saucepan, mix together the broth, orange juice, ginger, and garlic.
Bring to a simmer.
Add in chicken breasts; cook, covered, for 15 minutes or until internal temperature registers 170° on an instant read thermometer; turn over halfway through the cooking.
Add in the snow peas; cover and cook 2 minutes or until crisp tender.
Remove chicken and snow peas using a slotted spoon; cool chicken and cut into cubes.
Meanwhile, boil cooking liquid until reduced to 3/4 cup (about 10 minutes).
Whisk in the honey, peanut butter, vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil to make a dressing (may serve this warm or chill in the freezer for 15 minutes).
To serve salad: line individual salad plates with cabbage and romaine lettuce.
Toss the chicken, snow peas, water chestnuts, bell pepper, and half the dressing; spoon mixture onto salad plates.
Sprinkle with peanuts; serve with remaining dressing.
