Asian Chicken Salad and Sesame Soy Dressing

Why go to those fast-food joints when you can make this healthy salad at home and in a edible bowl too!  Delicious and low calorie too.


This salad combines shredded leaf lettuce of any kind, assorted greens, a dressing that will knock your socks off and, of course, teryaki glazed chicken breast slices.

Great salad for a light dinner

The edible bowl is a shaped flour tortilla.  Easy enough to do with the molds that come with a fajita set or you can merely make a baseball-sized ball of aluminum foil and drape the tortilla over that.

This is the ultimate in “clean” food and supplies plenty of energy.

  • Scallions thinly sliced (amount your choice)
  • OR YOU COULD CHEAT AND USE MESCALUN MIX LOL

EDIBLE BOWL

CHICKEN

  • 1 medium boneless skinless chicken breast (approx 8 oz)
  • 1/4 cup teryaki glaze or Chinese BBQ Sauce--available in Asian section of the grocery
  • Preheat broiler or BBQ grill to medium heat. Grill chicken breast about 10 minutes each side or until juices run clear. Brush with glaze, turn up the heat to high and cook until glaze just begins to caramelize.
  • Slice diagonally in 1/4-inch slices.

Instructions

  • Putting It All Together
  • Place about 1 cup of greens in each edible bowl. Add desired amount of sliced grape tomatoes and scallions. Place 1/2 of the sliced chicken on top of greens in each bowl. Add dressing.
  • Serves 2

Asian Green Beans

This is one of my most favorite things to eat at a Chinese buffet…ok dim sum (dumplings) too…


Incredibly easy to make.  You can start with fresh whole green beans, but if you are lucky enough to have an Aldi around you, they sell the most FABULOUS frozen whole baby green beans that are perfect for this.  If you start with fresh beans, cut off the stem end

Crisp, tasty & delicious

If using frozen beans, defrost them then drain them and dry them off a bit, as any water will make the hot oil splatter.
