2 IN 1 - HERBED CHICKEN & LEFTOVER CHICKEN SALAD



2 in 1 - Herbed Chicken & Leftover Chicken Salad image

This may be a first for RecipeZaar - two recipes in one! I had leftovers from the Herbed Chicken with no takers (if you know what I mean). This is delicious hot, but leftovers lose its appeal. Hating to see food go to waste, I created an out-of-this world recipe for Herbed Chicken Salad. (From now on, I WILL make sure I have leftovers for the chicken salad.) I doubled the original Herbed Chicken recipe to accommodate the chicken salad. If you like traditional chicken and chicken salad, search elsewhere. This is for those who are looking for unique flavors.

CHICKEN AND HERB SALAD WITH NUOC CHAM



Chicken and Herb Salad With Nuoc Cham image

Nuoc cham, a Vietnamese sauce bright with lime juice and chile, is tossed into this simple, satisfying salad to give it a salty-sweet finish. Thinly sliced bell pepper and shaved cabbage provide crunch, while meat pulled from a store-bought rotisserie chicken - or any leftover chicken - soaks up the dressing. Serve this by itself, or alongside steamed rice or room-temperature cooked rice vermicelli.

Time 5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 bird's-eye chile or other small hot chile, minced with seeds
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
3 tablespoons fish sauce
3 loosely packed cups chicken meat (12 ounces, pulled from store-bought rotisserie chicken or roast chicken)
2 cups thinly sliced red or green cabbage
1 small English cucumber, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 medium bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups peppery leafy greens, such as watercress with tender stems, arugula or mizuna
1 loosely packed cup Thai or sweet basil leaves
1 loosely packed cup mint leaves
1/2 cup crispy fried shallots or onions, store-bought or homemade

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the sugar and 1/4 cup water. Whisk to dissolve the sugar. Add the garlic, chile, lime juice and fish sauce. Stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken, cabbage, cucumbers and bell pepper to the dressing. Toss to coat. Add the leafy greens and the basil and mint leaves. Toss to combine.
  • Divide the salad among bowls, garnish with the crispy shallots and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To easily shred your cooked chicken, use two forks to pull the meat apart. This method is quick and easy, and it results in evenly shredded chicken.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use about half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • If you want a creamier chicken salad, you can add a tablespoon or two of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt.
  • If you want a more flavorful chicken salad, you can add a teaspoon or two of Dijon mustard or honey mustard.
  • For a healthier chicken salad, you can use whole-wheat bread or crackers instead of white bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

This 2-in-1 Herbed Chicken recipe is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. The chicken is flavorful and juicy, and the herbs add a bright and fresh flavor. Whether you serve it as a main course or a salad, this recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
