Chinese Chicken Salad
Ingredients:
Dressing:
3 Tbs. hoisin sauce
2 Tbs. peanut butter (I used crunchy)
2 tsp. brown sugar
3/4 tsp. Asian chili paste (I use chili garlic sauce by Lee Kum Kee)
1 tsp. ginger, grated
3 Tbs. rice vinegar
1 Tbs. sesame oil
For the salad:
1 pound chicken breast, boneless
nonstick vegetable spray
16 wonton wrappers, shredded
4 cups romaine lettuce
2 cups shredded carrots (I used 1 cup)
1 bunch scallions or green onions
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
crushed pineapple (I used rings and cut them up into small pieces)
slivered almonds
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the grill. In a bowl whisk all the ingredients for the dressing. (Hoisin sauce through sesame oil)
To make salad:
Spray the chicken lightly with the nonstick vegetable oil spray. Grill the chicken on a rack set 4 inches from the glowing coals for 6 to 8 minutes a side, or until just cooked through. Let the chicken stand for 10 minutes before thinly slicing it. If you prefer, the chicken may be broiled. (I will sometimes just saute the chicken chunks in a little soy sauce and oil)
Arrange the wonton shreds in one layer in a large shallow baking pan that has been sprayed with the nonstick vegetable spray. Bake the wonton shreds for 20 minutes, or until just golden. Let cool.
In a large bowl, toss the lettuce, carrots, scallions,almonds, Pineapple, chicken, wonton shreds, and cilantro with dressing.
This salad is so versatile.. just add what ever you like and take out what ever you don't like. It would even be good with just lettuce, chicken and dressing.
