Asian greens with chicken & crispy noodle salad


There's a hint of summer in every bite of this Asian-inspired poached chicken salad.

Preparation Time

20 - 30 minutes

Cooking Time

10 minutes

Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 4 single chicken breast fillets
  • 2 Lebanese cucumbers, halved lengthways, thinly sliced diagonally
  • 1 bunch baby pak choy, leaves separated, finely shredded
  • 110g (2 cups) trimmed bean sprouts
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander, leaves picked
  • 1 bunch fresh mint, leaves picked
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) sweet chilli sauce
  • 2 tbs fresh lime juice
  • 1 x 100g pkt Chang's Crunchy Noodles

Method

  1. Bring a large deep frying pan of water to the boil over high heat. Add the chicken and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10 minutes or until cooked through. Drain. Transfer to a plate. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly.

  2. Meanwhile, combine the cucumber, baby pak choy, bean sprouts, coriander and mint in a large bowl. Whisk together the sweet chilli sauce and lime juice in a small jug.

  3. Finely shred the chicken. Add the chicken and noodles to the cucumber mixture. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss until well combined. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Time saving tip: Replace chicken breast fillets with 1 Woolworths Country Style Roast Chicken, skin and bones removed. Omit step 1.

  • To shred pak choy, roll up a few leaves at a time and thinly slice crossways.

  • Variation: Asian greens with prawns & crispy noodle salad Replace the chicken with 20 cooked prawns, peeled. Omit step 1.
