Don't forget to stop by McKenzie's blog, this week's host, to see her take on the recipe, as well as what all the other Barefooters did.
Chinese Chicken Salad
adapted from Ina Garten
3 chicken breasts
Good olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound asparagus, ends removed, and cut in thirds diagonally
1 red bell pepper, cored and seeded
3 scallions (white and green parts), sliced diagonally
1 cup of snow peas or snap peas
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds, toasted
For the dressing:
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup good apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon peeled, grated fresh ginger
1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
1/8 cup smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub with the skin with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Cut the chicken into large bite-sized pieces.
Blanch the asparagus in a pot of boiling salted water for 3 to 5 minutes until crisp-tender. Plunge into ice water to stop the cooking. Drain. Cut the peppers in strips about the size of the asparagus pieces. Combine the cut chicken, asparagus, peas, and peppers in a large bowl.
Whisk together all of the ingredients for the dressing and pour over the chicken and vegetables. Add the scallions and sesame seeds and season to taste. Serve cold or at room temperature.
Beautiful! I so wanted snow peas in mine but they didn't look so hot at the store. I took out the bulk of the sodium / salt and a lot of the fat too, (and like you, was happy there was no butter to remove!). Great job!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI like the pea addition!
ReplyDeleteOhhh the peas llok fab! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant addition the sweet peas are.
ReplyDeleteLove this with peas - so perfect for an Asian-inspired dish! So glad that you all enjoyed this. And I'm glad that you had a good trip!
ReplyDeleteI loved this recipe, and love that you added the snow peas, will try that next time! Beautiful salad!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, well done!
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE the peas! Wish I'd thought of that... not that the salad needed any more crunch.

Oh I love that there are snap peas in it! I love snap peas.
ReplyDeleteFYI- I am hosting a giveaway for a super cute top!
thanks!
Wow, talk about experiences the weather extremes! I'm glad you're back in warm AZ. It's been so nice in N.Cal., but today, it's rainy and COLD. Maybe some of your warm weather will blow this way! Your Chinese chicken looks totally delicious! I love meals that can be thrown together with whatever you have on hand. Great way to use up veggies!
ReplyDeleteSnow Peas! Mojo would have enjoyed them!!! Yours looks wonderful....cheers!
ReplyDeleteOoh, the lime sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI always have to add bread to Jeff's meals, too, or some sort of carb. Must be something in that Y chromosome.
The rotisserie chicken is a great idea if you are in a hurry. This was a great recipe. Yours looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteThis was a yummy recipe, and yes, you could easily substitute other veggies!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, you reminded me of the CC salad my mom use to make: iceberg lettuce, chicken, dressing and these super-thin Asian noodles you have to fry up...heavenly! This one's a little classier...and healthier.
ReplyDeleteYour salad looks so bright and delicious! I love that you tossed in snow peas, what a nice added texture, great idea :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious, Anne. I think the squeeze of lime is just what this needs: a little more acid.
ReplyDeleteHi Anne!
ReplyDeleteI am discovering the joy of cooking amongst my baby boy and husband like you! Thank you for the delicious brownie pudding recipe that is sure to be a hit! I love your blog and humor! I am for sure adding this to mine. I sure would appreciate it if you would add mine to yours! Thank you Anne!
