EASY ASIAN CHICKEN SALAD

Categories Chicken Leafy Green Sauté Quick & Easy

Yield Serving Size: 1. For 2 people just double it, etc.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 Chicken Breast
Preferred Seasonings or Marinade
1 Tbsp of Olive Oil
2 Cups of Salad Greens (any type you prefer. I like something with Endive, and Baby Spinach. The pre-bagged lettuces make this recipe even quicker.)
3 oz Mandarin Oranges
1/4 Cup of Croutons
1 Tbsp of Almond Slivers
1 Tbsp of Green Onions (or Scallions)
1 Tbsp of any Salad Dressing (something Asian or Italian works best. For a low fat option, try a 1 Tbsp of Lemon Juice instead.)

Steps:

This recipe is broken down in a "per-person" style. By following the portions above, you will make a salad for 1 person. If you have 2 people in your party, just double it, for 3, triple it, etc. First, season or marinate your chicken breast however you like it. I love using come Cajun Seasoning, it spices it up just right. Try marinading it in Lawry's marinades, they are inexpensive and quick. They have great flavors like Carribean or Garlic Lime. Saute the whole breast for about 4 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Leaving it whole takes longer, but the chicken will be more moist. If you are pressed for time, you can cut up the breast into chunks, then saute it. (The chicken can be baked on a rack, for a low fat option). While chicken is cooking, begin chopping your green onion. Sent them in a small bowl to the side. Next, start layering your salad ingredients. This order works best: Salad Greens, Mandarin Oranges, Croutons, then Almonds. After your chicken breast is finished, decide whether you want it in chunks or sliced. I prefer to chop it into bite size chunks, it makes it easier to eat. Add the chicken pieces atop your assembled salad, and garnish with the green onion. I like using Italian or Asian dressings, a little goes a long way. In a pinch, or on a diet, just use some fresh lemon juice, it works just as well.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
If you don't have time to cook the chicken, you can use store-bought rotisserie chicken.
Feel free to adjust the amount of vegetables and herbs in the salad to your liking.
If you want a spicier salad, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil.
Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Easy Asian Chicken Salad is a delicious, healthy, and versatile salad that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a snack. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
