When cooled, finely mince the chicken breasts, or whirl them for a few seconds in a food processor to mince.

3)In another bowl, add the mixed greens (or about 12 romaine leaves if substituting that for the mixed greens), and drizzle with the remaining 2 teaspoons of canola oil and 1 teaspoon of lime juice to waken up and give sheen; divide the mixed greens among 4 plates (or 3 romaine leaves per plate); finally, divide the minced chicken among the 4 plates, and garnish equally with the remaining cilantro, scallions and ground peanuts.
