Chinese Chicken Salad for One

by 4 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I was alone for dinner last night and got a craving for a Chinese Chicken Salad. Scoured some cookbooks and couldn’t find anything that sounded right, though. The dressing was the crucial part for me and all I could find was one that had mayonnaise in it! Not at all what I think of for Chinese chicken salad, but I decided to play with it a bit, leaving out the mayo. When I went to get the sesame oil I noticed a recipe for Chinese Salad Dressing right on the bottle and it sounded like what I wanted!

Mmmm! A bit spicy, perhaps, but very much what I had in mind.

  2. […] This is certainly one of those easily modified recipes. Basically, take some boneless skinless chicken breasts, moisten them, then roll them in seasoned bread crumbs. In this case, I went very healthy and just used egg whites and a bit of balsamic vinegar, but in the past I’ve used whole eggs and soy sauce, eggs and water, eggs and milk, etc. for the moistening ingredient. Sometimes I soak the chicken in buttermilk first, which I do love. I seasoned the bread crumbs with garlic powder, garlic salt, and parsley tonight. Sometimes I throw in some grated Parmesan cheese for chicken cutlets, other times some cumin and chili powder for Chinese Chicken Salad […]
