Can I make this Oriental Chicken Salad ahead of time?

You can certainly make this salad up to a day in advance. You just need to prep elements separately. Leave out the chow mein noodles and the dressing until just before serving, also, store the cooked chicken in its own airtight container.

Place your veggie base in the salad bowl, cover with a paper towel to help soak up excess moisture and cover with plastic wrap or a lid. Just before serving coverings, then add the chow mein noodles, chicken, and dressing.

How to store this salad

This salad is best enjoyed on the day it’s made, but you can store it in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Swaps and mix ins

More Recipe Notes

  • This would also work with rotisserie chicken, it’s quicker but you not as crunchy (but still flavor packed!).
  • When it comes to the dressing, sesame oil has a very strong flavor so you don’t need to overdo it!
  • Allow your chicken to cool slightly before cutting.
  • For an extra crispy crust on the chicken tenders, repeat the dredging process with egg and flour, for a double coating.

Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken tenders
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 large eggs + 1 tablespoon water
  • ¼ cup canola oil

For the Dressing

  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

For Assembly

  • 2 cups cabbage mix with carrots
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • ¾ cup sliced almonds
  • 1 cup crispy chow mein noodles

Instructions

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add the flour, salt, garlic, onion powder, and black pepper to a shallow bowl. Add the egg plus water to another shallow bowl. Whisk to combine.

    1 pound boneless, skinless chicken tenders, 1½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 2 teaspoons onion powder, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 large eggs

  • Dredge a chicken tender in flour. Pat off excess. Coat in egg. Let excess drip off. Coat in flour again and pat off excess. For an extra crispy crust repeat the egg and flour again. Repeat with remaining chicken tenders.

  • Heat a large skillet to a medium heat. Add canola oil. Once the oil is hot, add chicken. Cook until crispy and brown, about 3 minutes, flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly and chop into bite-sized pieces.

    ¼ cup canola oil

  • While the chicken cooks, make the dressing: Whisk the rice vinegar, sugar, and Dijon mustard together in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in both sesame and canola oil.

    ¼ cup rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 tablespoons canola oil, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

  • Add the cabbage mix, romaine lettuce, red cabbage, almonds, and chow mein noodles to a large salad bowl. Drizzle with dressing and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

    2 cups cabbage mix, 4 cups romaine lettuce, 1 cup shredded red cabbage, ¾ cup sliced almonds, 1 cup crispy chow mein noodles

  • Top with chicken, more almonds, and chow mein noodles.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy crust on the chicken tenders, repeat the dredging process with egg and flour, for a double coating.
  • This would also work with rotisserie chicken, it’s quicker but not as crunchy (but still flavor-packed!).
  • Allow your chicken to cool slightly before cutting.

Storage:Store Oriental chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

    Nothing like Applebees. The dressing was so sour. The chicken needs to be deep fried
