Asian Chicken Salad - Fix it Fast Meal Solution #9

This was a perfect change for lunch.  I usually do just a plain green salad.  Only thing was, I didn't have the mandarin oranges on hand.  I love oriental salads.



Ingredients:


2 Tbsp butter
1 (3 oz) pkg ramen noodles, any flavor
1/2 c silvered blanched almonds
1/4 c Honey Teriyaki Sauce
2 Tbsp Mango Lime Sauce
1 Tbsp creamy peanut butter, melted
1 deli rotisserie chicken, skinned, deboned and torn up (3-4 c)
2 (11 oz) pkgs veggie lovers salad mix
1 (11 oz) can mandarin oranges, well drained
1/2 c Vidalia Onion Dressing
1/2 c sliced green onions

Instructions:

1.  In medium skillet, heat butter over medium heat.  Crush and add ramen noodles (discard seasoning packet) and almonds to skillet; saute until browned.  Set aside.

2.  In medium bowl, combine Honey Teriyaki Sauce, Mango Lime Sauce and melted peanut butter; whisk together.  Add torn up chicken; toss to coat. 

3.  In large bowl, toss lettuce, oranges and Vidalia Onion Dressing together.  Divide among 6 dinner plates; top with chicken.  Sprinkle with ramen mixture and green onions.

Makes 6 servings.  Serve with crusty dinner rolls.

Make Ahead & Freeze:  Combine crushed ramen noodles and almonds in a quart size resealable freezer bag.  Prepare Step 2; transfer to a quart resealable freezer bag.  Place both bags in a gallon resealable freezer bag.  Seal well, label and freeze.  Thaw completely.  Prepare as directed above.
