ASIAN CHICKEN SALAD



Asian Chicken Salad image

A perfect salad for leftover BBQ, boiled, broiled or baked chicken. A very crunchy salad with a tasty sweet Asian-style dressing. The kids love it too!

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
¼ cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 (8 ounce) package dried rice noodles
1 head iceberg lettuce - rinsed, dried, and chopped
4 boneless chicken breast halves, cooked and shredded
3 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • Prepare the dressing 30 minutes ahead of time by combining the brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, salad oil, and rice vinegar in a salad dressing carafe.
  • To prepare the Chinese rice noodles, heat a skillet with a few tablespoons of oil and break off a little bit of the noodles and add them to the skillet and fry them. They will puff up in the skillet, so only add a few at a time. As they begin to puff up, remove and drain them on paper towels. Be sure to cook long enough as the under cooked noodles will be like eating needles. Once cooked, add them to the salad mixture.
  • In a large bowl combine the iceberg lettuce, cooked and shredded chicken, green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Let chill about 10 minutes, and just before serving add the cooked rice noodles. Serve in salad bowls and offer the dressing in a pourable container so your family can add as much dressing as they want. You can also pour the dressing over the top of the salad, toss, and serve immediately.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces sugar snap peas, strings removed
1 8- to 9-ounce package fresh Japanese-style noodles (such as udon)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 grilled chicken breast halves, cut horizontally in half, then crosswise into thin strips

1 cup Mango-Sesame Dressing
Toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

Toss noodles with sesame oil. Cut noodles with kitchen shears to shorten. Add peas, chicken, and green onions; toss with enough dressing to coat. Arrange salad on platter; top with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.

Tips:

  • For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add more tofu or tempeh.
  • If you don't have snap peas, you can use snow peas or asparagus.
  • If you don't have bok choy, you can use Chinese cabbage or Napa cabbage.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, cook the chicken and vegetables and store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, assemble the salad and toss with the dressing.
  • This salad is also great for meal prep. Pack it in individual containers and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This Asian chicken salad is a healthy and flavorful dish that's perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It's packed with protein, vegetables, and healthy fats, and the dressing is tangy and refreshing. This salad is also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
