Applebee’s Grilled Chicken Oriental Salad
This salad features grilled chicken breast served atop romaine lettuce with shredded carrot, crispy rice noodles, and toasted sliced almonds, all dressed with a tangy Oriental-style dressing. The chicken is pounded thin, seasoned simply, and grilled to remain juicy. Toasting the almonds adds a nutty flavor and crunch, complementing the varied textures in the salad.

Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast 2 portions, boneless, skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup almonds sliced
- 8 cups romaine lettuce
- 1/4 cup carrot shredded
- 1/2 cup rice noodles crispy
- 4 tablespoons salad dressing Applebees Oriental
Instructions
- Heat the grill to medium, or heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to 3/8-inch thick.
- Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper.
- Grill chicken breasts for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Transfer to a plate to rest for 4 to 5 minutes before slicing.
- Toast the almonds in a small dry skillet over medium heat. Watch them carefully—there is a fine line between toasted almonds and burnt almonds! Shake the pan gently. When you begin to smell the almonds, toast for a few seconds more, then immediately place the almonds on a paper towel. Allow them to cool for a moment or two.
- Assemble salads by first putting the lettuce in bowls or on plates, 3 to 4 cups per serving.
- Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons of carrots, 1/4 cup crispy rice noodles, and 1/4 cup toasted almonds.
- Arrange the chicken on top.
- Serve with Applebee’s Oriental Salad Dressing.

Notes
- Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes in soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic to deepen flavor before grilling.
- Toast sliced almonds carefully to avoid burning and to achieve a balanced nutty aroma.
- The salad dressing can be made up to three days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Slice the grilled chicken on a slight diagonal for texture and presentation similar to Applebee’s.
