Preheat grill to medium-high and oil the grill grate. Discard marinade and grill the chicken 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Set aside. When cool enough to handle, chop chicken into bite size pieces.
- For the salad, in a large serving bowl, toss together romaine lettuce, napa cabbage, carrots, edamame, cucumber and red pepper. Toss chicken in and keep chilled until ready to serve.
- For the dressing, using a food processor or blender, combine peanut butter, parsley, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, vegetable oil, hoisin sauce, water and chili paste. Blend until smooth. Toss with salad just before serving. Top salad with wonton strips and chopped peanuts.
