Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 2 cups Napa cabbage
- 1 cup Carrots
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 4 cups Corn chips
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds
Instructions
Shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the Napa cabbage into thin strips. Grate the carrots or use pre-shredded carrots. Finely slice the green onions. Chop the cilantro leaves. Add all these vegetables to the mixing bowl with the chicken.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetables, tossing everything together until well coated.
Heat a small skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the sesame seeds and slivered almonds until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Fold the sesame seeds and slivered almonds into the salad mixture for added crunch and flavor.
To serve, lay out the corn chips on a large serving platter. Spoon the chicken salad mixture onto each corn chip, evenly distributing the filling.
Garnish with additional cilantro or green onion if desired, and serve immediately as an appetizer or light meal.
