When we're in the mood for dinner with an Asian flair, this is very quick and easy to make. (Our grocery store has a delicious Asian salad dressing for this dish in the refrigerated section of the produce department.) Ingredients:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into small bite-size pieces |
1/4 cup bottled asian-style sesame ginger salad dressing |
2 cups julienned carrots (they can also be purchased prepacked) |
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1 head butterhead lettuce, leaves separated and coarsely torn |
1/4 cup honey-roasted peanuts, chopped |
lime wedge |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Lightly coat a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir for 3 minutes or until browned. Add 1 tablespoon of the dressing and the carrots to skillet; cook and stir for 3 minutes more or until carrots are crisp-tender and chicken is no longer pink. Stir in red pepper.
2. Stack lettuce on plates. Top with chicken-carrot mixture. Sprinkle with chopped nuts. Serve with remaining dressing and lime wedges.
