CASSIE'S CAESAR CHICKEN SALAD
This is a delicious chicken salad that I came up with when my husband was starting Adkins. Great on top of mixed greens or on bread of choice. When adding caesar dressing and mayo you should do this to taste, I suggest more mayo than caesar so the taste is not too intense or salty. We eat this on top of romaine lettuce, I personally treat it as lettuce wraps, it's DELISH!! Perfect for a hot summer lunch or dinner. One last thing, I specifically use Kraft light mayo because it isn't as sweet, I don't know how any other light mayonnaise would taste so I suggest using regular mayonnaise if using another brand.

Steps:
- Cube chicken into bite size pieces and place in a medium size mixing bowl.
- Add the salt, rice cooking wine, ginger and cornstarch to the chicken cubes, using a fork to mix it in and adding the cornstarch last, mix again. Cover and marinate the chicken for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the sauce ingredients while the chicken is marinating. In a small size mixing bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Finely mince the garlic. Wash and slice the green onions on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces, chop the broccoli, slice the celery, carrots, onions and drain the sliced water chestnuts.
- Roast the cashews in a heavy skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan continuously so that the nuts do not burn. Roast for about 5 minutes, or until the cashews are lightly browned. Remove from the pan and let cool completely.
- Heat the wok or large size skillet over medium-high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic. Stir-fry until aromatic (about 30 seconds). Add the coated chicken cubes. Stir-fry until they change color (about 5 to 7 minutes) and are cooked through. Remove from the wok or frying pan, keep warm.
- Add 2 tablespoons oil to the same wok or skillet. When the oil is hot, add the stir-frying vegetables. Stir-fry until crunchy-tender (about 5 to 6 minutes), then push up to the sides of the pan. Add the sauce and the chicken. Heat everything through and then fold all together to completely coat with sauce. Serve the chicken and vegetables over prepared rice (Jasmine rice is the best) and the roasted cashews on top as a tasty garnish.
- Makes 4 servings.
Tips:
- To make the chicken extra crispy, use a mixture of cornstarch and flour as the coating.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
