    Chinese Chicken Salad

    1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast(s)
    1 medium garlic clove(s), minced
    1 medium shallot(s), chopped
    1 Tbsp ginger root, chopped
    1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
    1 tsp s/f honey
    2 Tbsp vinegar, rice
    1 1/2 tsp Soy Sauce
    1/2 tsp sesame oil
    1/4 cup canola oil
    4 cup Iceberg lettuce, or Napa Cabbage, shredded
    3 medium scallion(s), thinly sliced
    1 medium cucumber(s), cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced
    1 cup bean sprouts
    .75 cup snow peas, blanched in boiling water for 30 seconds, refreshed in cold water, and drained
    4 oz canned water chestnuts, sliced and drained


    Coat a large nonstick pan with cooking spray. Over medium-high heat, cook chicken, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Let cool slightly. Shred into small pieces and refrigerate until chilled.

    To make vinaigrette, combine garlic through to soy sauce in a blender. Slowly add sesame and canola oils in a steady stream.

    Combine vegetables and chicken with vinaigrette and serve immediately.

    Kamren,

    That sounds really good. Personally, though, I would change one small thing. Waterchestnuts cause insulin spikes in most folks. Jicama doesn't and is a fraction of the carbs, and tastes very similar. In fact, I prefer the taste over wcn.

    Thanks for sharing

    Blessings!

    Hi -

    Your salad sounds great!

    I was wondering, what is s/f honey? Are you referring to a syrup?

    And where are the sugar alcohols listed in the nutritionals? I don't see any maltitol or sorbital, etc. listed in the ingredients.

    Oh, I didn't even see that.

    Marcie, they have sugar free honey that is made with malitol syrup. I've never imbibed as I have *consequences* from malitol

    The jicama is a good idea....I haven't had problems with the water chestnuts, but for those who do...it would be great.

    yes the sugar free honey is malitol...it is just a bit of the honey, but if you have trouble with it, I would just leave it out, or use a bit of Splenda instead.
