Mandarin Orange Chicken Tossed Salad image

From Light & Tasty magazine...submitted by R. Heimerl. I love - just love - this salad! I've served it many times for lunch buddies! The dressing is what makes this dish! I hope you enjoy it too! **Time: allow 1-2 hours of time to marinate chicken and then afterwards another 1-2 hours to chill chicken after cooking. I like to cook the chicken the day before so the salad itself is easy to throw together.***

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also really healthy and filling.

I'm not a big fan of mandarin oranges, but this salad is still really good. The chicken is really flavorful and the dressing is light and refreshing.

I didn't have any mandarin oranges, so I used canned peaches instead. It was still really good!

The dressing is a bit too sweet for my taste, but the salad is still good.
