Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Chef's knife
  • Cutting board
  • Small jar.
  • Serving platter

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups Cooked Chicken Breast
  • 2 Cups Napa Cabbage
  • 2 Cups Red Cabbage
  • 1 Cup Romaine Lettuce
  • 1/2 Cup Shredded Carrots
  • 1/4 Cup Green Onions
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro
  • 3 Tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Honey
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Ginger
  • 2 Tbsp Peanut Butter
  • 1 Tsp Sesame Oil
  • 1/2 Cup Chow Mein Noodles
  • 1/4 Cup Sliced Almonds

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Vegetables: Start by washing all your fresh greens and herbs. Shred the Napa cabbage and the red cabbage very thinly.
  • Chop the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces for easy eating. Place all these greens into your large mixing bowl.
  • Shred the Chicken: Take your cooked chicken breasts and shred them apart. You can use two forks or just your clean hands.
  • Make sure the pieces are small enough to grab easily. Add the chicken to the bowl with the fresh cabbage.
  • Mix the Dressing: In a small jar, combine the soy sauce and vinegar. Add the honey, peanut butter, ginger, and the sesame oil.
  • Shake the jar very hard until it looks totally smooth. Taste it to make sure it is salty and sweet.
  • Toss the Salad: Pour the creamy dressing over the chicken and the greens. Use large spoons to toss everything together very well.
  • Make sure every piece of cabbage has some dressing on it. This ensures every bite tastes wonderful and flavorful.
  • Add the Toppings: Sprinkle the green onions and cilantro over the top. Add the crispy chow mein noodles and the sliced almonds.
  • Toss one more time very gently so they stay crunchy. Serve the salad immediately while the noodles are still firm.

Notes

➔ Use a rotisserie chicken to save a lot of time.
➔ Toast the almonds in a pan for a deeper flavor.
➔ Shred the cabbage very thin for the best mouthfeel.
➔ Add the crispy noodles right before you start eating.
➔ Use fresh ginger instead of powder for a better zing.
➔ Chill the dressing for ten minutes to meld flavors.
➔ Swap peanut butter for almond butter if you prefer it.
➔ Add a splash of lime for extra citrus brightness.
