ASIAN CHICKEN NOODLE SALAD



Asian Chicken Noodle Salad image

This is the first time I ever used rice noodles (sold as Thai stir-fry rice noodles) and really liked them. By the way the original recipes suggested using rotisserie chicken but I didn't have any so put some teriyaki sauce on some boneless chicken tenders (chicken breasts) and broiled them. This salad also goes together in no time at all. I figured if following the WW flex plan this is about 8 points - which is pretty good for dinner with fruit for dessert. If you include the wonton crisps (included below) add another point or so. Game plan: (if you already have the cooked chicken), (1) make noodles, (2) prepare dressing, (3) Preheat oven for wonton crisps, (4) cut and season wonton wrappers, (5) chop vegetables (or take the shortcut and buy carrots and green peppers already cut up and cut remaining veggies), (6) bake wonton crips and prepare salad -- dinner is done in well under 30 minutes!

ASIAN CHICKEN SALAD WITH GLASS NOODLES



Asian Chicken Salad with Glass Noodles image

This is a very flavorful, fairly spicy, Asian-type salad. If you don't like it too hot, substitute sweet chili sauce for the hot chili sauce or mix half and half. The flavors need a few hours to blend, so it's a good idea to let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours. Salad can be nicely garnished with additional cilantro and lime slices. You can also use diced cooked chicken in place of the steamed chicken breasts if desired.

Provided by Just Call Me Martha

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

7 ounces packages glass noodles or 7 ounces packages oriental rice noodles
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
4 green onions, sliced diagonally
2 carrots, sliced diagonally
1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
1 cup bean sprouts
1/4 cup chopped of fresh mint
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons hot chili sauce
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Cover noodles with boiling water and let sit 5-8 minutes, or until cooked.

  • Place noodles, chicken, onions, carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts, mint and cilantro into large bowl.
  • Mix together chili sauce, lime juice and sesame oil then pour over noodle mixture and toss well.
  • Top with toasted sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Choose the right noodles: Rice noodles, soba noodles, or udon noodles are all good choices for this salad. Be sure to cook them according to the package directions.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Look for crisp vegetables, tender chicken, and flavorful herbs.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken should be cooked until it is tender but not dry. Overcooked chicken will be tough and chewy.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made several hours or even a day ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. You can chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving, or even overnight.

This Asian noodle salad with chicken and cilantro is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy, sweet, or savory, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
