Asian Chicken Salad
Here’s a recipe for a quick, colorful, & healthy salad that’s perfect for lunch or dinner. It was inspired by the leftover chow mein noodles from the wasabi chex mix. I know it’s quite simple to prep your own dressing, and I’m pretty sure I have all the necessary ingredients, but I actually had a bottle of Kraft’s Light Asian Sesame dressing on hand, (even though I don’t remember purchasing it). So to help use it up, I marinated the chicken the night before, and cooked it on the George Foreman. All ingredient amounts can be varied depending on how much you want, and add or omit any ingredients to your convenience.
