Ingredients

4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, divided
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, divided
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 head napa cabbage, thinly shredded (about 6 cups)
1/4 head red cabbage, shredded (about 2 cups)
1 large carrot, shredded (about 2 cups)
3 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced, greens included (about 1/2 cup)
1 (8-ounce) can sliced water chestnuts
1 (11-ounce) can Mandarin oranges in water, drained
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce or chili sauce
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and brush onto chicken breasts. Arrange in a baking dish and bake until juices run clear, about 13 to15 minutes. Remove from oven, cool completely, and cut into 1/4-inch slices.

In a large bowl, combine Napa cabbage, red cabbage, carrot, scallions, water chestnuts, Mandarin orange and sliced chicken. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil, brown sugar and chili sauce. Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine. Divide among bowls and top each serving with 2 teaspoons toasted almonds.

This is a very flavorful salad. I made a big batch and kept the dressing on the side until ready to serve so it lasted 4... days. YummyRead more

so GOOD and EASY!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I absolutely LOVE this dressing!!! If you've ever tried Paul Newman's Sesame Ginger salad dressing, it tastes a lot like... that, but better!! I had to make a few substitutions though because I was just working with what I had on hand. I only had about 1 tablespoon of soy sauce left in my bottle, so I added 2 tablespoons of bottled Kikoman Teriyaki sauce to complete the 3 tablespoons of soy. I also didn't have the chili sauce, but I did have wasabi paste so I tried that instead. While it didn't add much flavor (I'll probably add 2 tsp. next time for more heat) it did act as a great emulsifier for the dressing in the way that dijon does for a traditional vinaigrette. I'll definitely make this again and probably in a bigger batch to keep on hand. Read more

The fact that the nutrition information doesn't print out has nothing to do with Ellie Krieger or this recipe. The one-star... rating based on your irritation about this is completely unwarranted. This area is for reviews of the recipes; there's nobody here who can help you with your request. There is a "contact us" link at the bottom of every single page of this web site, and this is the kind of comment that you should use it for. If all else fails, it only takes a few seconds to write down the nutritional info that you need.Read more

Fast, easy, low cal, and high fiber.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used some leftover chicken and a bag of coleslaw mix then followed instructions exactly. And wow, it was so good. I will... definitely be making it again the next time I have any leftover protein. Fast, easy, low cal, and high fiber. I wish all meals were like this. Read more
