Instructions

Combine all seasonings and oil and toss with the chicken to coat it evenly. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 24 hours refrigerated.
While the chicken marinates, make the peanut sauce and cucumber salad. Combine all ingredients and whisk until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside. For the salad, stir together all the ingredients and set aside
Heat a large pan over medium high heat. When hot, add a tablespoon of avocado oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove to a serving plate.
To serve, plate chicken, drizzle with sauce, and add a side of cucumber salad. Finally, garnish with cilantro.

Notes

You can replace all the spices with a curry powder, for ease, if you like.
