CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD
"A brunch must have"
INGREDIENTS
DRESSING
-
1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil
-
1/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
-
1/3 Cup Soy Sauce
-
3 Tbsp Sesame Oil
-
1 Tbsp Honey
-
2 Tbsp Sugar
-
2 Garlic cloves, minced
-
1 Tbsp ginger, minced
-
4 Tsp salt

1 Tsp pepper
SALAD
-
6-8 Cooked Chicken breasts, chopped
-
2 Red bell peppers
-
1 lb Asparagus, blanched, (I have a trick)
-
4 Green onions (the white part)
-
1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds
DIRECTIONS
Boil your chicken. When it is close to finished, toss your chopped asparagus in the pot for a quick 2-3 minute hot bath, (depending upon the girth of the asparagus.) With a slotted spoon, pull the asparagus out and into a colander. Top them with ice and run a slow stream of cold water over them to cool them quickly and keep their crispness. When your chicken is cooked, I like to dump the boiled chicken breasts it in my stand mixer with a bread food and have it shred the chicken. While it is shredding, chop your bell pepper and mix it with the asparagus in a bowl. Add the shredded chicken and top with green onions and sesame seeds.
In another bowl, with a spout if you have it, mix all the dressing ingredients with a whisk.
Pour over your chicken mixture and serve!
