Chinese Chicken Salad Remix

Chinese Chicken Salad

(Low Fat)

Determined to make our meals as healthy as possible, I did a little Chinese Chicken Salad remix!  It is super easy and quick to make.  I baked the chicken breast while I was making the rest of the salad. Loved it!!  Eat your veggies, they are great for you and you'll feel great while still enjoying full flavor!  Biggest tip I have found to eating healthy is using my kitchen scale.  I love mine!!

Less than 400 calories per serving

Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 T. low-sodium soy sauce, divided

2 tsp toasted sesame oil, divided

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1/2 head napa cabbage, thinly shredded (about 6 cups)

1/4 head red cabbage, shredded (about 2 cups)

3 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced, greens included (about 1/2 cup)

1 8-oz can sliced water chestnuts, chopped

1 11-oz can Mandarin oranges in water, drained

1/2 apple cider vinegar or rice wine vinegar

1 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp minced ginger

1 packet Stevia sugar substitute

1-1/2 tsp Sriracha sauce

1/4 C sliced almonds, toasted

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine 1 tsp soy sauce and 1/2 tsp sesame oil and brush onto chicken breasts. Bake until juices run clear, about 15 minutes.  Remove from oven, cool completely, and cut into 1/4-inch slices.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine Napa cabbage, red cabbage, scallions, water chestnuts, and Mandarin oranges.  In a separate bowl (or your Vitamix), whisk together remaining 3 T. soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, remaining 1 tsp oil, Stevia and Sriracha sauce.  

Add cooled chicken to bowl.  Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine.  Divide among bowls and top each serving with 2 tsp toasted almonds.

Enjoy!
