Add the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, lime juice and rice vinegar to a small bowl and mix together until you have a smooth, pourable consistency.
Mix the drained chickpeas with 1-2 tablespoons of the dressing.

Cook the rice

Assemble the salad

To assemble, layer a portion of the romaine lettuce in the base of the bowl.
Dice the cucumber. Shred or finely chop the cooked roast chicken breast.
Top with the rice (if using) and a serving of the satay chickpeas.
Finish with cucumber, charred greens and drizzle with the rest of the dressing If you're using the chicken you can add it on top.
