Recipe: Oriental Chicken Salad

 


I'm always looking for new ways to feed my family in a healthy but satisfying way. I came across this recipe a few weeks ago and I can't believe how delicious it is.

The full recipe has instructions on how to make the chicken and the dressing, but if you are looking for an easy dinner for those nights where the kids have been driving you nuts all day or its been a long day at work, try Tyson frozen chicken tenders and your favorite dressing. I also found the pre bagged coleslaw package that included both red and napa cabbage along with shredded carrots. My prep time was cut down to air frying the chicken and chopping some lettuce. It took a fraction of the time which is great for my busy household.
