Chinese Chicken Salad Variations You'll Love

 


Indulge in one of my top salad picks! Its delightful taste might fool you into thinking it's not low-fat. Look for wonton wrappers in the deli or produce aisle of your local supermarket.

Ingredients:

  • A dash of freshly grated ginger
  • A dollop of creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups of finely shredded carrots
  • 3 tablespoons of savory hoisin sauce
  • Shredded wonton wrappers for added texture
  • Tender, boneless chicken breast halves
  • Sweet brown sugar for a hint of sweetness
  • A touch of spicy hot chile paste
  • Freshly chopped green onions for extra flavor
  • Fragrant sesame oil to tie it all together
  • Crisp romaine lettuce leaves, torn and washed
  • Tangy rice wine vinegar for a burst of acidity
  • A sprinkle of chopped cilantro for a pop of freshness

Directions:
  1. For the dressing, blend together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, brown sugar, chili paste, ginger, vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth.
  2. Grill or broil the chicken breasts until fully cooked, approximately 10 minutes. Ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Let cool, then slice.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a large shallow pan with nonstick vegetable spray and lay out shredded wontons in a single layer. Bake until they turn golden brown, usually around 20 minutes. Let them cool.
  4. In a spacious bowl, mix together the chicken, wontons, lettuce, carrots, green onions, and cilantro. Drizzle with the prepared dressing and serve.
