boneless skinless chicken, 2 cups2 pkgs ramen noodles, crunched or broken up1/2 cup slivered or chopped almonds1/4 cup sesame seeds6 cups shredded cabbage1 cup extra virign olive oil1/2 cup vinegar (any kind)1/4 cup soy sauce1 small can mandarin oranges, drained (opt)
Directions
In medium skillet on medium heat, cook sliced chicken until no pink. Meanwhile, on cookie sheet, spread ramen noodles, almonds, and sesame seeds. Bake at 200 degrees until lightly toasted and golden brown. Watch carefully, they will burn quickly if left too long.

Using cheese grater, shred cabbage into large bowl. When chicken is cooked, add to bowl with cabbage and toss with toasted almonds, sesame seeds, and ramen. In separate, smaller bowl, mix vinegar, soy sauce, and oil until combined. If desiring to keep a portion aside for later meals- keep oil/vinegar separate from noodles and cabbage as it will make them soggy.

Serve immediately with oil/vinegar as dressing over rest of salad. If desired, garnish or mix in the mandarin oranges. Serves four- 2 cups each or each serving is 1 cup and about 285 calories.
