FROM MY KITCHEN

ORIENTAL CHICKEN SALAD

Combine 1/2 cup soy sauce and 1 tsp. garlic salt or garlic powder.  Cut 4 boneless / skinless chicken breasts into cubes or strips.  Soak in the soy sauce mixture for at least one hour.

Drain when you are ready to cook.

Brown 1/2 cup slivered almonds and 1/4 cup sesame seeds in 2 TBSP butter.  Do not burn.  Set to the side and use later.

Use nonstick spray and cook the chicken pieces.

In a large bowl combine:
 1 package of coleslaw mix
 6 to 8 chopped green onions
 1 can drained bean sprouts
 2 packages of Oriental Flavored Ramen Noodles crumbled - NOT COOKED
    (SAVE THE SEASONING PACKET TO USE LATER IN RECIPE)
 2 cans of water chestnuts

Chop the cooled chicken and add to the slaw mix.

Make a dressing:
 3/4 cup oil
 6 TBSP rice vinegar
 4 TBSP sugar
 2 oriental seasoning packets from the Ramen Noodles
 1/2 tsp. pepper
 Add the sesame seeds and almonds
 Mix well and pour over the slaw mixture.

Refrigerate.

* Variation - try the broccoli slaw mix
