Chinese Chicken Salad
(serves 1 with extra dressing)
If you already have leftover chicken cutlets or something similar, just use those.
Dressing:
3 Tbs soy sauce
1 Tbs rice vinegar
2 Tbs sesame oil
1 tsp sugar
1.5 Tbs mustard powder
Chicken:
1 boneless skinless chicken breast
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1-2 Tbs peanut oil
Salad:
lettuce
diced cucumber
sliced red onion
grated carrots
Mix the salad dressing together in a jar and shake it well or use a whisk in a small bowl. Make your salad (or salads) with as much lettuce, cucumber, onion, and carrots as you'd like. Add the dressing and toss.
Sprinkle the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then dip into the breadcrumbs, pressing firmly so they adhere.
Heat the peanut oil over medium high heat. (If you don't have peanut oil, just use canola or olive. The peanut oil adds a nice flavor but is not necessary.) Cook the chicken a few minutes on each side, until crispy and cooked through. Slice it in strips and put on top of your salad.
