Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    boneless skinless chicken, 2 cups
    2 pkgs ramen noodles, crunched or broken up
    1/2 cup slivered or chopped almonds
    1/4 cup sesame seeds
    6 cups shredded cabbage
    1 cup extra virign olive oil
    1/2 cup vinegar (any kind)
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    1 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.
