Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
5 cups water
2 (6 ounce) packages long grain and wild rice mix
1 tablespoon butter
1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 cup chopped green onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped almonds
6 lettuce leaves, or as needed
1 (5 ounce) can chow mein noodles

Steps:

  • Mix soy sauce and sesame oil in a bowl; rub mixture over chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook marinated chicken in the hot skillet until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 20 minutes. Dice chicken when cool enough to handle and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Combine water, long grain and wild rice mix, and butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pan, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.
  • Mix rice, mandarin oranges, water chestnuts, green onion, celery, and almonds with diced chicken; toss well. Chill mixture in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  • Line a large platter with lettuce leaves; top with chicken mixture. Sprinkle noodles around salad.

I've made this salad with both rotisserie chicken and grilled chicken. Both versions are delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise-based salads, but this one is really good. The dressing is light and flavorful.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover rice. I usually make a big batch of rice on the weekend and then use it to make this salad throughout the week.
