In a large bowl, combine coleslaw mix, shredded cooked chicken, chopped scallions, chopped red bell pepper, and chopped peanuts.

In a separate bowl, whisk together peanut butter, water, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, toasted sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss to combine.

Add chopped cilantro and basil if using, and toss again.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
