Chinese Chicken Salad:

2 or more Chicken Breasts; Cooked and Sliced (I marinade in Teriaki marinade overnight and then cook the chicken sometime earlier in the day

1-2 heads lettuce

1 pkg. Chicken Ramen

Any salad additions of your choice (cashews, peanuts, sunflower seeds, veggies)

I marinade the chicken breasts in Teriaki marinade overnight and then cook it earlier in the day (375 for 35-45min depending on your oven), whenever is most convenient. Then I can just slice it up put it in a bag and refrigerate it until dinner time. If you need a recipe for Teriaki marinade, I have one, or you can just grab one from the store. Just as good. My mom just uses canned chicken. Even easier!! I also chop up the lettuce and make the dressing earlier. The only thing you don't want to do early, is combine it all because then it will get soggy. When it's time for dinner just crunch up the ramen noodles, assemble your salad and toss with the dressing. Don't pour all the dressing in at once. The recipe makes too much to use all of it.

Dressing:

3/4 C Sugar

3/4 C Vinegar (Rice vinegar is awesome. Anything will work fine.)

1/2 C Vegetable Oil

2 Tbs. Soy Sauce

4 tsp Salt

3/4 tsp Pepper

2 tsp Lemon juice

1 pkg Chicken Ramen Seasonings

Combine dressing ingredients in blender and blend away!
