ASIAN CHICKEN AND PASTA SALAD



Asian Chicken and Pasta Salad image

I found this recipe in Better Homes and Gardens magazine. It won in their prize tested recipe section. I make this all the time and people always ask for the recipe. I always improvise with this. Sometimes I add mangoes, cucumbers and/or romaine hearts. This is easy and tastes like you are a chef.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons bottled chinese hoisin sauce (essential)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 ounces angel hair pasta
3 medium nectarines or 3 medium peaches, sliced
2 cups baby bok choy, shredded
2 green onions, sliced

Steps:

  • Whisk together the dressing ingredients until very well combined.
  • Poach chicken breasts in barely simmering water for 12-15 minutes, covered or until no longer pink inside.
  • Drain and let cool slightly and cut into bite size pieces.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Drain and toss with 3 tablespoons of dressing.
  • Plate up pasta on 4 plates and top with chicken, fruit, bok choy and green onions.
  • Drizzle with remaining dressing.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pasta salad.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means cooking it until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Let the pasta cool completely before adding the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the pasta from becoming mushy.
  • Chop the vegetables and chicken into small, bite-sized pieces. This will make them easier to eat and will help to distribute the flavor more evenly throughout the salad.
  • Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will weigh down the salad and make it less refreshing.
  • Serve the pasta salad immediately or chill it for later. If you are chilling the salad, be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Asian chicken pasta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its vibrant flavors and textures, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
