Cooks Notes
Plan around 6 oz of chicken per serving. I grilled chicken for this dish, however this could also be a great way to use up some left overs.
Feel free to add any of your favorite salad ingredients. In the interest of time you could use a bottled Asian dressing, there are many good ones available.
An egg roll makes the perfect addition to this salad.
