Menu Planner Menu Planner   CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD  

 
INGREDIENTS

½ pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into strips
  Pepper to taste
½ head Napa cabbage, thinly sliced
½  red bell pepper, thinly sliced
3 to 4 scallions, sliced
1 carrot, julienned
½ cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, chopped
2 tbsp. sesame seeds, toasted
4 large lettuce leaves
Dressing:
2 tbsp. tamari (a wheat-free concentrated soy sauce, can also use 3 tbsp. regular soy sauce)
1 tbsp. dark sesame oil
2 tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar (or plain rice vinegar with a tsp. of sugar)
1 tbsp. canola oil
1 tsp. fresh grated ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
½ tsp. chili pepper flakes
RECIPE

  • Sprinkle sliced chicken strips with a little pepper. Cook them in a small skillet with a little water (just enough so the chicken does not stick to the skillet).
  • Cover and cook until cooked through (3-5 minutes), turning the pieces over half way through the cooking. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce (tamari), sesame oil, rice vinegar, canola oil, ginger, garlic, and red chili flakes.
  • Add chicken, cabbage, red pepper, scallions, carrots, cilantro, and sesame seeds. Toss to dress.

    Note: To reduce the fat in this recipe, add a small amount of dressing.
