Chinese Chicken Salad Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and brush onto chicken breasts. Arrange in a baking dish and bake until juices run clear, about 13 to15 minutes. Remove from oven, cool completely, and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
• In a large bowl, combine Napa cabbage, red cabbage, carrot, scallions, water chestnuts, Mandarin orange and sliced chicken. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil, brown sugar and chili sauce. Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine. Divide among bowls and top each serving with 2 teaspoons toasted almonds.

Steps:

• For the dressing: Put the peanut oil, soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili paste, garlic and lime juice in a small mason jar and secure the lid. Shake vigorously until well combined. Set aside.
• For the salad: Put the chicken, cabbage, romaine, kale, carrots, edamame, almonds, peanuts and bell peppers in a large bowl. Pour about two-thirds of the dressing over the salad and toss.
• Transfer to a platter or individual plates. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and garnish with the cilantro, mint and toasted sesame seeds.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix all ingredients except bread. Spread mixture on 4 bread slices. Top with remaining bread.

Steps:

• 1. Dressing: Cut the veggies into small pieces and put in the food processor with liquids.
• 2. Process until smooth. Set aside.
• 3. Chicken salad: Mix together the ingredients.
• 4. Blend in the dressing. Refrigerate.
• 5. Spoon chicken salad onto crusty bread. Top with Lettuce. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• Mix dressing of soy sauce, vinegar, oils, ginger, sugar and mustard. Add chicken, onions and pea pods. Toss well. Chill at least 4 hours to blend flavors.
• Fill each roll with lettuce and chicken salad. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Serve with crispy noodles if desired.

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise, yogurt, paprika, and seasoned salt together in a bowl; fold in cranberries, celery, apple, grapes, and pecans. Stir in chicken and season with black pepper.

Steps:

• Choose a heavy pot or Dutch oven with a tightfitting lid. It should be large enough to hold the chicken snugly, but not much bigger. Fill pot about 2/3 full with cold water, but don't put the chicken in yet. Boil some extra water in a teakettle.
• Add scallions and peppercorns to water, cover and bring to a rolling boil. Turn off heat and slip chicken pieces into the hot water. If needed, add boiling water from the kettle to cover chicken with water by 2 inches. Replace the lid and let chicken rest in the hot water for about 2 hours. Do not turn the flame back on: The pot will retain enough heat to cook chicken thoroughly and safely. (To test, cut into 1 piece of chicken and check the meat near the bone. If it is still pink, return the pot to low heat, bring the water to a simmer and simmer 10 minutes more.)
• Lift chicken out of the pot. Remove and discard bones, skin and fat. Pat the meat dry with paper towels, then cut or shred into small bite-size pieces and transfer to a bowl. (Meanwhile, simmer cooking liquid until tasty, strain and refrigerate or freeze to use as chicken stock.)
• In a bowl, whisk together juice of 1/2 lemon, mayonnaise and sour cream. If using, whisk in mustard or brine. Taste and adjust the seasonings and thickness to your liking. Pour over chicken, scraping the bowl clean with a rubber spatula.
• Add celery, onion if using, nuts, herbs and salt and pepper. Toss gently but thoroughly. Refrigerate, covered, at least 4 hours. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle with herbs before serving.
