Share:
Ingredients
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice from ½ lemon
- 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 ounces Oriental flavored ramen noodles such as Maruchan (1 package)
- 16 ounces coleslaw mix 1 package
- 1 head bok choy thinly sliced
- 2 carrots julienned
- 5 green onions thinly sliced
- 2 cups sugar snap peas cut in half
- 1 cup mandarin oranges fresh or canned
- ¾ cup blanched and salted peanuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Place the chicken breasts on a foil-lined baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for approximately 30 minutes or until cooked through. Chop into bite-sized pieces or shred, then set aside.
- Make the Dressing: Place the peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until softened and smooth. Whisk together the oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, lemon juice, peanut butter, sugar, and the seasoning packet from the ramen noodles. Set aside.
- Crush the ramen noodles and spread them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until just starting to turn golden. Set aside to cool.
- Place the coleslaw, bok choy, carrots, green onions, sugar snap peas, mandarin oranges, and cooked chicken in a large bowl and toss lightly.
- Lift individual servings of the salad mix onto a plate or bowl, drizzle with peanut dressing, and sprinkle with peanuts and noodles. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Storage: Store Chinese chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Using leftover chicken would make this an even quicker meal option.
- Drizzling the dressing on individual servings and putting the peanuts and noodles on at the end will ensure your salad doesn't turn into a soggy mess and leftovers will be great the next day. If you mix everything together, we wouldn't recommend keeping leftovers.
- We took the noodles out of the package for photography purposes, but it is much easier to crush the noodles when they are still in the package.
- What if you only have rice wine vinegar? Use it!
