MANDARIN ORANGE CHICKEN TOSSED SALAD



Mandarin Orange Chicken Tossed Salad image

From Light & Tasty magazine...submitted by R. Heimerl. I love - just love - this salad! I've served it many times for lunch buddies! The dressing is what makes this dish! I hope you enjoy it too! **Time: allow 1-2 hours of time to marinate chicken and then afterwards another 1-2 hours to chill chicken after cooking. I like to cook the chicken the day before so the salad itself is easy to throw together.***

MANDARIN TOSSED CHICKEN SALAD WITH CASHEW DRESSING FOR 1



Mandarin Tossed Chicken Salad With Cashew Dressing for 1 image

Well yasee I had this uncooked half chicken breast left from yesterdays experiments. Also the temperature is all ready in the mid 80s and upward bound. A souped up chicken salad seemed like a good idea for a main dish. I use my WOK a lot, particularly when it's hot out. I invented a chopped cashew salad dressing for this sort of thing some time back. It's rather good for fruit type salads . So Here we go, written as I fix it. A lot of my recipes are done this way typing notes into textpad as I work/invent.(Grynn)This is a BIG serving salad main dish or there's enough chicken for 2.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 large b&s chicken breast, cut in about 1 inch bite sized pieces
1/2 tablespoon oil, for woking the chicken
1/2 cup drained mandarin orange segments, usually canned
1 cup mixed greens, the crisper the better,like iceberg or romain,depending on what available
1 hard-boiled egg, diced because i had it to use up (optional)
1/2 cup mild salad oil
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup chopped roasted cashews (I suppose you could use peanuts)
1 pinch salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Fire up the WOK and chow the chicken chunks until cooked through and set aside.
  • Remember this time it will have no additional cooking.
  • If you have cooked chicken use it.
  • A Woolfe Tip, when B&Schicken breasts are cheap, I chunk, WOK, and vac-bag freeze for later use.
  • Put all the dressing ingredients in a blender or small food processor and ZAP until blended.
  • I throw the cashews in as is, as I buy the pieces it's a lot cheaper that way.
  • You can do both the Chicken and dressing ahead of time.
  • Tear up the greens into a bowl.
  • Add the orange segments and cooled chicken.
  • Toss with the dressing.
  • I had this with some torn off bread.
