Ingredients

  • 3 cups diced, cooked chicken Use rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken breast for convenience.
  • 6 cups thinly sliced and chopped cabbage Green cabbage works best, but feel free to mix in red cabbage for a pop of color.
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onion Adjust the amount based on your preference for onion flavor.
  • 3/4 cup slivered almonds Toasted in a dry pan for an extra crunch and depth of flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds Adds a nice nutty flavor; you can use toasted or raw.
  • Fresh ground black pepper To taste, for seasoning.

Instructions

  • Dice your cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. You can use leftover chicken or purchase pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the cabbage into fine shreds. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
  • Chop the green onions into thin slices. The green tops provide a burst of color and flavor, so don’t hesitate to add more if you love the taste!
  • In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the slivered almonds. Toast them for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • In the large bowl with the cabbage, add the diced chicken, sliced green onions, toasted almonds, and sesame seeds. Toss everything together gently to combine.
  • Sprinkle fresh ground black pepper over the mixture and toss again. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
  • Serve your Sandees Asian Chicken Cabbage Salad immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for a refreshing experience.

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Dry skillet
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Notes

  • Toast the almonds just right; burnt almonds can ruin the flavor.
  • Don’t skip the sesame seeds; they add important flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the amount of green onions according to your taste; they can be quite potent!
  • Mixing the salad too vigorously can bruise the cabbage, so be gentle when combining.
