Asian Chicken Salad


This one's actually Ali's recipe (and I think she got it from Channing). It's so yummy! It calls for a few uncommon ingredients, but once you buy them, you can make this salad over and over. You'll love it, I promise!

1 chicken breast
2 carrots, julienned
1 Gala apple
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
1/2 head romaine lettuce, chopped
1/2 cup peanut oil
3 T creamy peanut butter
2 T rice vinegar
1 T soy sauce
2 t brown sugar
1 t peeled, minced ginger root
1 t Asian chili paste
1/2 C canned fried chow mein noodles
1/4 C dry roasted peanuts, chopped
1 green onion, diced

Boil chicken breast 20 minutes. Combine carrots, apple, peppers, and lettuce in a large bowl. Shred chicken, add to salad. Combine peanut oil, peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and chili paste in small bowl. Whisk until smooth.

Add chow mein noodles and dressing to salad; toss. Sprinkle with peanuts and green onions.
