One of my favorite quick spots to eat around my apartment is a pita/salad place called Pockets. I always get the Asian Salad with Chicken. Although I love it, I do not enjoy the price I pay (over $10). So, I decided to make my own version at home and added some ingredients that even Pockets leaves out. This salad recipe is easy and healthy but still has a restaurant-type feel. So grab your chopsticks because it's time to get Oriental!
Oriental Chicken SaladIngredients:
1 Head Romaine Lettuce
2 Chicken Breasts
1 Bag of Broccoli, Sugar Snap Peas, and Carrots
1 Small Can of Water Chestnuts
1 Can Mandarin Oranges
1 Bag Chow Mein Noodles
1 Bottle Sesame Ginger Sauce (I used La Choy)
Directions:
1. Chop up uncooked chicken into small pieces and cook them on a sauté pan over medium heat until done.
2. Chop up the lettuce finely so it resembles a chopped salad.
3. Drain the juice from the water chestnuts and mandarin oranges. Toss all of the ingredients into once big bowl, saving the chow mien noodles to sprinkle on top.
4. Drizzle the sesame ginger sauce on top and shake up the salad.
I was able to make 4 salad servings from this recipe for around $4 each. It definitely saved me some money and I was able to enjoy it for lunch too =).
