Instructions
STEP 1 To prepare chicken: Whisk lime juice, oil, soy sauce, fish sauce and red pepper in a shallow dish until combined; add chicken and turn to coat. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
STEP 2 To prepare peanut sauce: Whisk peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar and red pepper until smooth. Divide the sauce into 4 small condiment containers with lids and refrigerate until ready to use.
STEP 3 Preheat grill to high. Thread each chicken tender onto a wooden skewer. Grill until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skewers and cut into strips.
STEP 4 To prepare slaw: Toss cabbage, bell pepper, carrots and green onion in a large bowl.
STEP 5 Divide the slaw among 4 single-serving containers with lids. Top each with one-fourth of the chicken and 1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds. Dress with the reserved sauce just before serving.
