- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
6 Tbls. slivered almonds6 Tbls. sesame seeds11/2 - 2lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breast (diced in small pieces)1 package Ramen noodles, chicken flavor (crunched up)1 head Nappa cabbage, cut into bite-sized pieces1 bunch green onions, sliced6 Tbls. canola or olive oil6 Tbls. vinegarRamen noodle flavor packSalt and pepper to taste.
Toast and let cool:
Crunched ramen noodles
sesame seeds
almonds
**************************************************
Wisk together oil, vinegar and ramen noodle flavor pack in bowl or shake in dressing bottle. Set aside.
***************************************************
Microwave chicken (diced in small pieces) on high for 5 mins. Stir. Microwave 3 additional mins, or until cooked through. ( I grill my chicken if I am not in a hurry or used left over chicken from the night before) There is no need to season the chicken, but you can if you wish. Let chicken cool.
*****************************************************
Combine cut up cabbage, green onions, cooled chicken and cooled toasted noodles, sesame seeds and almonds. Toss together in dressing.
*****************************************************
Add salt and pepper to taste.
*****************************************************
I also add cucumber and tomatoes to the salad if I have them on hand, but tastes fabulous with or without!
****NOTE****
IF you do not plan on eating at one sitting, do not toss all together at once. I add about 1/3 of the "crunchies" and toss with 1/3 the dressing. Save the rest of the "crunchies" in a tupperware container and take along separately to work the next day! Also, we like extra dressing so I make a double batch of that :)
Makes ~6 servings
ENJOY!!
