Instructions
Preheat a skillet or barbecue grill over medium heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Cook on the grill or skillet for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken rests, prepare the salad ingredients. In a large bowl, combine Chinese cabbage, julienned carrots, sliced cucumber, red capsicum, and spring onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. This will be your dressing.
Slice the chicken into thin strips or shred it using two forks.
Add the sliced chicken to the salad bowl with the vegetables. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss to coat everything evenly.
Top the salad with toasted slivered almonds and crispy fried noodles for added crunch.
Serve immediately for maximum freshness and enjoy your Aussie-style Chinese chicken salad!
