Instructions
- Make dressing: Combine dressing ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use. (Dressing can be made a few days in advance).
- Heat oil: Preheat oil in a pot over medium heat. You want the oil at about 350 degrees F, (or test the oil by putting a small piece of torn bread into the pot and if the bread sizzles, it's ready.)
- Coat chicken: ChickenIn a small bowl beat the egg and milk together. In another bowl combine the flour, cornflake crumbs and salt and pepper. Cut chicken into several long thin strips. Dip the strips in the egg mixture, and then into the flour mixture, coating completely.
- Fry Chicken: Carefully add coated chicken to the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes or until cooked through and coating is dark golden brown.
- Assemble Salad: Combine the romaine, red cabbage, napa cabbage, carrots, onions and cucumber. Add chicken on top and then add almonds. Serve with dressing!
Notes
- Make Ahead Instructions: All the veggies can be chopped and the dressing can be made ahead of time and kept all separately in the fridge until you're ready to eat.
- Variations:
- Recipe from the Book Top Secret Restaurant Recipes, found here.
- Baked Chicken: Place chicken on a greased pan in a 425°F oven for 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
