Marinated Chinese Chicken Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, peanut butter, ginger, chipotle pepper puree, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and canola oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Combine cabbage, lettuce, carrots, snow peas, cilantro, and green onion in a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss to combine.
• Transfer to a serving platter and top with the shredded chicken, chopped peanuts, and mint. Drizzle with chili oil, if desired. Garnish with grilled lime halves.

Steps:

• Place chicken strips in a shallow dish or pan. In a small bowl, whisk all marinade ingredients together and pour over chicken. Marinade chicken for 4 to 6 hours.
• In a separate bowl, whisk all the dressing ingredients together. Cover and reserve for later use.
• Soak the noodles in hot water for 5 to 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Heat a wok with a bit of canola oil and add the marinated chicken in batches. Remove. Set aside. Heat sesame oil in wok and add the onion, celery and peppers. When wilted, turn off the heat and toss in chicken, tamari, jicama, bok choy, and cilantro. Place chicken and vegetables on top of drained noodles and drizzle with the dressing.

Steps:

• Mix marinade ingredients in a small bowl.
• Place chicken in slow cooker and pour marinade over chicken, coating each piece well.
• Cover and cook on low 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. (Depending on how large your chicken breast are. Mine were small and were done in 5 1/2 hours on low).
• Remove chicken from slow cooker and cool.
• Reserve juices and place in a small sauce pan and simmer for 5 minutes then strain if desired. (I didn't strain it but you might want to if you have excess residual.).
• Shred chicken into bite-sized pieces.
• In a small bowl, combine the dressing ingredients with 1/2 cup of the juice from the slow cooker.
• In a large serving bowl toss together the shredded chicken, lettuce, carrots, peanuts, cilantro, and noodles.
• Just before serving, drizzle with the salad dressing.
