3. In a separate pot, poach the chicken: Combine stock, lemon slices, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat, ensuring the chicken breasts are fully submerged. Cook with a lid on for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (white throughout with no pink). Allow the chicken to cool, then finely chop or shred.
4. Trim the beans and add them to a bowl with ¼ cup water and microwave for 3 minutes. Rinse in cold water to prevent further cooking and set aside.
5. Use a mandoline or sharp knife and finely shred the red and green cabbage.
6. Use a julienne peeler or sharp knife to shred the carrots.
7. Wash and drain the sprouts.
8. Finely chop the green onions.
9. Combine the cabbage, carrots, green onions, sprouts, and the cooled green beans in a large bowl. Combine the sesame oil, lime juice and cumin and mix into the salad thoroughly.
10. Slice the cucumbers lengthways then into half moons set aside.
11. Make the Crispy turmeric potatoes
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes while you prepare the potatoes
Slice the previously boiled potatoes evenly into rounds or half moons.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil and potatoes then sprinkle the potatoes with turmeric – mix until evenly coated with turmeric.
Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper.
Place the seasoned potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket to ensure that the potatoes get crispy.
Air fry the potatoes at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, cook until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
12. Top the slaw with the cucumber slices and crispy turmeric potatoes, and roasted peanuts.
